Morel Mushrooms...the rest of the story
« Reply #-1 on: May 01, 2014, 07:06:13 AM »


This is the way we like to eat these wonderful treats down on the farm.

The mushrooms are cleaned, sliced, and placed in a salt water filled bowl and then go into the fridge overnight. Next morning, we rinse them off and pat them dry with paper towels. They are dipped in an egg wash and then rolled in a mix of corn meal, flour, and spices. The next step is to fry them in butter until done.

I slice the corn meal mush into 1/2 to 3/4” slices and then add some salt and pepper. I fry these slices in bacon fat until slightly crispy on the outside. I then pour on some real Ohio made maple syrup over the top of the slices.

I like my eggs cooked over easy and then I compliment them with some hot salsa.

The patty is just some simple breakfast sausage.



Now that’s some good stuff!!

Dave that is a wonderful breakfast.....anytime sir!   :P   I guess I'm going to have to traipse thru the woods this weekend looking for the elusive spongers!
I've heard it's to be a great year for them. Hope that's correct, not many things tastier than morels!

Pretty hard to go wrong when you batter something and fry it in butter.  :D
