Ingredients

20 large fresh morel mushrooms

355 ml milk

1 large egg

120 g all-purpose flour

65 g Italian cracker crumbs

5 ml paprika

2.5 ml ground black pepper

1.25 ml cayenne pepper, or more to taste

1.25 ml dried oregano

0.625 ml dried thyme

0.625 ml ground cumin

1 liter vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, place morels and soak in warm, salted water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels; set aside.

Step 2

Whisk together milk and egg in a small bowl until well combined. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour, cracker crumbs, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and cumin.

Step 3

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F).

Step 4

While the oil is heating, dip mushrooms, a few at a time, into the milk mixture. Coat them in the breading mixture and shake off excess.

Step 5

Working in batches, fry breaded mushrooms in hot oil until they turn dark brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
