STUFFED MOREL MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Place mushrooms in a large bowl of salted water. Soak until clean and soft, 8 hours to overnight.
• Drain mushrooms, rinse well, and set out to dry on a clean towel.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Chop mushroom stems finely. Cut mushroom caps in half lengthwise; place cut-side up in a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushroom stems, red bell pepper, and green onion; cook and stir until green onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; allow to cool, about 10 minutes.
• Mix cream cheese, crabmeat, egg, celery leaves, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and sea salt together in a large bowl. Fold in cooled onion mixture. Place a dollop of filling in each mushroom cap with a small spoon.
• Mix bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in a small bowl. Sprinkle on top of filled mushroom caps.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.

EASY STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Butter a shallow baking dish.
• Clean mushrooms with a brush (do not use water to clean the mushrooms).
• Gently twist off stems, setting mushroom caps aside.
• Finely chop stems, very small.
• In a bowl mix crumbs with the chopped stems, melted butter, Parmesan, salt (I use seasoned salt), black pepper and garlic powder.
• Fill caps with crumb mixture.
• Top with grated mozza cheese (at this point, the mushrooms may be refrigerated then baked at a later time).
• Set caps on buttered baking dish.
• Bake for about 7-8 mins, or until cheese is melted, and mushrooms are hot.

MORELS STUFFED WITH WILD RICE

Steps:

• Saute the bacon pieces until crisp in a medium-size skillet, then add the shallots and garlic. Stir and saute over medium heat for five minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the cooked wild rice, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Trim the bottom of the morels so they will stand upright, points upward. Stuff each one with some of the rice mixture and carefully place three stuffed mushrooms, tips pointing upward, into each of four heat-proof gratin dishes. Drizzle the mushrooms with melted butter and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they begin to crisp and brown. Just before serving, sprinkle a bit of the fresh dill around the mushrooms to simulate the look of the forest floor.

STUFFED MOREL MUSHROOMS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Use a mixing bowl to combine the crab, mayonnaise, cream, fresh chives, egg yolk, Parmesan, and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper and combine very thoroughly. Stuff each morel with the crabmeat filling. Heat an oven-proof skillet or saute pan and melt four tablespoons of the butter. Transfer the stuffed morels to the skillet and saute quickly, turning on all sides to brown. Add the remaining butter and garlic to the skillet and continue cooking for another minute. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for about eight minutes, or until the mushrooms and the filling are heated through. The morels should be golden brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the fresh parsley. Serve immediately with garlic butter drizzled over the top. This recipe yields 4 servings.
