01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

1 ½ cups crushed buttery round crackers, or as needed 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 eggs 3 tablespoons butter 20 fresh morel mushrooms, sliced

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by mixing the crushed crackers and flour together in a bowl. In another bowl, give the eggs a good whisk. Heat up the butter in a frying pan over medium heat until it’s melted and bubbling. Take each mushroom and dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it well with the cracker mixture, tapping off any extra crumbs. Carefully place the mushrooms in the hot butter, working in batches if needed so they don’t crowd the pan. Cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until they turn a lovely golden brown. Once done, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess butter before serving.
