Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt half the butter in a small skillet over high heat. Add the morels and shallots and sauté until they are tender, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.

  2. Step 2

    Melt the remaining butter in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and cook, stirring gently but constantly, until the eggs have coagulated but retain a soft, custardy consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer the eggs to two warm plates and spoon half the morel mixture on top of each portion.

This is a classic dish in my family. Two tips: 1) If your morels are large ones, split them in half lengthwise. 2) 8 minutes is a long time to sauté the shallots and 'shrooms. Try 4 1/2 to 5 minutes. Florence is dead on about the eggs. Don't overcook them.

This is a wonderful classic, I followed the recipe except for added a tiny little bit of creme fraiche to the eggs at the end. Yum!
