RECIPE Preparation
- Thoroughly clean then trim morels. If large, cut in half.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add shallots and cook until just translucent. Add morels, gently turning to coat in shallot/butter mixture; season with salt and pepper.
- Saute mushrooms for about 7 minutes, then stir in thyme leaves and lemon juice. Raise heat to medium-high. When lemon juice has evaporated, add sherry if using. Cook until sherry has evaporated.
- Turn heat back down to medium and stir in cream. Cook until mixture is thickened. Taste for seasoning and add salt, if needed. Pour hot mushroom mixture over puff pastry cups or toasted brioche. Serve immediately.
