List of Ingredients



• 1 cup lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
  
• 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
  
• 1-1/2 Tbsp heavy cream
  
• 2 Tbsp snipped chives
  
• 1 egg yolk
  
• 2 Tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese
  
• 1-1/2 Tbsp dry breadcrumbs
  
• Salt and white pepper to taste
  
• 12 to 16 large morels, cleaned
  
• 8 Tbsp butter
  
• 2 tsp minced garlic
  
• 1 Tbsp chopped parsley
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F).
   
   
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, mayonnaise, heavy cream, chopped chives, egg yolk, Parmesan and breadcrumbs, and stir to mix well. Season with salt and pepper and stuff each morel with the mixture.
   
   
3. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the stuffed morels and heat, turning them to brown evenly. Add the remaining butter and the garlic, and continue to cook for 1 minute. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 8 minutes, or until heated through and morels are golden brown. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the chopped parsley, and serve immediately, with some of the garlic butter drizzled over the top.
