Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sliced morels (substitute any fresh mushrooms)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
- 1 tablespoon sherry or white wine (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives or other fresh herbs (optional)
- salt and pepper 
 
Eggs aren't just for breakfast! With a green salad and some good bread, this makes a quick and
delicious lunch or light supper. And the addition of morels makes it a special spring-time treat.
 
Directions
  • Slice the morels lengthwise to make sure they are clean inside, rinse well, and cut into

1

thin strips. (The stems are often tough. You may want to reserve them for some other use.)
  • If using fresh herbs for garnish, get them ready.
  • In a non-stick skillet, melt
    1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat, add the sliced morels, salt very lightly and allow
    them to cook and release their juices.
  • Meanwhile, break the eggs into a bowl, add 1
    tablespoon water or milk and a pinch of salt, and whisk until well-mixed and uniform in color.
  • Check the morels for doneness. By the time the moisture has nearly cooked down, they
    should be tender, not rubbery. If not yet tender, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water and continue to
    cook. When they seem done, add a tablespoon of sherry or white wine and cook, stirring constantly,
    until this is absorbed.
  • Taste for seasoning, add salt and pepper if needed and remove
    the mushrooms and any bits or liquid from the pan to a small bowl to keep warm.
  • Return
    pan to heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and when the butter is sizzling, add the beaten eggs. Reduce
    heat to medium-low and cook and stir until eggs are done, about 3 to 4 minutes. (Don't cook them
    to the point of dryness; they should be still a bit shiny.) Quickly stir in the sautéed
    mushrooms, garnish with chopped herbs (optional) and serve.
