Ingredients
  • 20 fresh morel mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dry white wine optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gently clean morel mushrooms by soaking them briefly in cold salted water, then rinsing and patting dry. Trim stems if needed.
  2. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté shallots and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2–3 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, Parmesan, sautéed shallots and garlic, parsley, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  4. Carefully stuff each morel mushroom with the cheese mixture using a small spoon or piping bag.
  5. Place stuffed mushrooms on a lightly oiled baking sheet or in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and optional white wine.
  6. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the tops if using.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
