Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g morel mushrooms
- 6 large eggs
- 30 g unsalted butter
- 30 ml heavy cream
- 10 g fresh chives
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 10 ml olive oil
Instructions
Clean the morel mushrooms thoroughly by rinsing them under cold water to remove dirt and grit. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel, and if needed, cut them into evenly sized pieces.
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and whisk them together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the morels and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are soft and lightly browned.
Remove the sautéed morels from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Wipe the skillet clean, then add the butter and heat it over low heat until melted and bubbling.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and cook them over low heat, stirring constantly with a silicone or wooden spatula to create soft, creamy curds. This will take 4-5 minutes.
Once the eggs are nearly set but still slightly runny, gently fold the sautéed morels into the scrambled eggs.
Continue cooking for another minute until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and the morels are heated through.
Finely chop the chives and sprinkle them over the scrambled eggs before serving.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or toast on the side if desired.
