CRAB STUFFED MOREL MUSHROOMS
Fresh or dried morels stuffed with crabmeat, baked under a dust of buttered breadcrumbs is a classic appetizer, and a great way to use dried morels in the off-season. Makes about 15 medium to large morels (giant morels are another story). Feel free to scale the recipe to your needs.

Steps:
- If you're using fresh morels, skip to cutting the morels with a scissors.
- Soak the dried morels (fresh morels never need soaking, no matter what Grandpaddy said) in room temperature water to cover.
- You want to use clean mushrooms here. If, for any reason you suspect your morels are especially sandy, rehydrate them in a larger volume of water so that you can swish them vigorously to remove grit.
- When the dried morels are hydrated, squeeze them dry, save the liquid for making a pan sauce or adding to a soup, some other purpose, or discard.
- Trim the ends of the mushrooms to clean them up a bit and make for a pretty presentation (optional).
- Using a scissors, cut open one side of each morel. Large morels that will be easy to stuff can be left whole, but I prefer to cut them to make stuffing easier. Reserve the cut morels.
- For the crab filling, combine all the filling ingredients gently, trying to keep some of the crab pieces intact, then taste a spoonful. Adjust the seasoning as needed for salt, lemon zest, herbs, and whatever else you like until it tastes good to you. Lemon zest is important here as this is a heavy dish--the citrus acts as the high note of a song, lifting it up and lightening it.
- Preheat the oven to 450
- Take a tablespoon or so of the filling and stuff each morel, then fold them closed. Put the morels, cut side down in a baking dish that will fit them snugly, sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and parmesan, drizzle over the butter and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and puffed, then serve. They're great by themselves, alongside a steak or as a lunch with a green salad.
CRAB-STUFFED MORELS
Each spring while searching for morels, my cousin and I inevitably discuss different ways to prepare them. He was curious about stuffing them, so I came up with this twist on crab stuffing.

Steps:
- Clean morels thoroughly, rinsing the insides as best as possible. Cut stem down to 1 inch to create a clear opening to insert stuffing.
- Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, shaking frequently until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool; chop finely.
- Combine pine nuts, crabmeat, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, thyme, pepper, garlic powder in a food processor; pulse into a fine paste.
- Spoon crab paste into a heavy-duty plastic bag and snip off 1 corner with scissors. Pipe paste into morels.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with butter.
- Beat 2 egg whites in a bowl. Place bread crumbs in a second bowl. Roll stuffed morels in the egg whites, then coat evenly with bread crumbs. Place morels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between them.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Flip morels and rotate the baking sheet every 5 minutes to ensure even baking. Serve while still warm.
