Cheese Stuffed Morels

Ingredients:

• 8-12 Large fresh morels
• 24 Ounce Cream cheese
• 12 Ounce Minced crab meat
• 6 Small green onions
• 2 Tablespoon Minced garlic
• 1/4 Teaspoon Onion powder

Cooking instructions:

1. Wash morels, then slice where the head meets the stalk
2. Mix cream cheese, crab meat, and powdered ingredients into mixing bowl
3. Dice green onions and add to the cream cheese mix
4. Once thoroughly mixed, place the cream cheese mixture into a one-gallon ziploc bag
5. Squeeze the cream cheese into a corner of the bag, then cut the corner of the bag, forming a piping bag (like the cake decorators)
6. Poke a small hole in the top of the morel, then squeeze the cream cheese into the hollow morel head until full
7. Once all morels are “stuffed”, batter them by rolling in scrambled egg and dredging in the bread crumbs
8. Once they are breaded, place them on wax paper on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer
9. Put one inch of cooking oil in a black iron skillet, and heat oil to 350 degrees
10. Remove the morels from the freezer and fry in the oil until golden brown
11. Remove the morels from oil and place on paper towel to cool
12. Serve as a side dish, or appetizer
