Morel mushrooms are the prime rib of mushrooms — we hunt them every spring. Breaded in an herby, cracker crumb crust and deep-fried until crispy, these morels are full of earthy, nutty flavor. You won’t be able to stop eating them.
Ingredients
- 20 large fresh morel mushrooms
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Italian cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Place morels into a large bowl of warm, salted water and let soak for 30 minutes. Drain and blot dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Whisk milk and egg together in a small bowl. Combine flour, cracker crumbs, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and cumin in a large resealable plastic bag.
Step 3
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 4
While the oil is heating, dip mushrooms, a few at a time, into milk mixture. Toss in breading mixture until coated; shake off excess.
Step 5
Working in batches, fry breaded mushrooms in the hot oil until dark brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Tips
Cut morels in half lengthwise if they are big, but leave them whole if they are small.
