Morel Mushroom Harvest

I'm in heaven! We found 58 nice size morels May 13th in the pine trees.

Besides the usual frying them in egg, crackercrumbs and butter I like to prepare morels stuffed with cheese to freeze and enjoy later.

Here's my recipe.

Morel Mushrooms Stuffed With Cheese

• 2 8oz pkg cream cheese
• 8oz finely shredded cheddar
• 1 bunch green onoins finely minced
• 1 pkg imitation crab finely minced
• 1 pkg thin sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
• garlic salt and onion powder to taste

Mix cream cheese, 1/2 cheddar, onions, crab and bacon. Slice mushrooms in half, wash and dry on paper towels. Fill each mushroom half with cheese mixture and lay on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with garlic salt and onion powder. Top each with remaining cheddar cheese and press down so it sticks to the top. Freeze until firm then layer into container seperating layers with saran wrap. Store airtight in freezer. To prepare either fry on med heat with butter and olive oil, or heat in oven at 350 until cheese is bubbly.
