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
    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

1

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.
