Time 49m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

20 large fresh morel mushrooms
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
⅛ teaspoon dried thyme
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
1 ½ cups milk
1 egg
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Place morels in a large bowl of warm salted water and leave to soak, about 30 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine flour, cracker crumbs, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and cumin in a large resealable plastic bag to make breading mix.
  • Whisk milk and egg together in a small bowl.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Dip mushrooms, a few at a time, into milk mixture. Toss in breading mix until coated; shake off excess.
  • Fry breaded morels in the hot oil, working in batches, until dark brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
