Growing up in rural Kentucky, we hunted for morels every spring. We always soaked them overnight in salt water, drained the water, breaded them with cornmeal mixed with some salt and pepper, and fried them in oil until well browned. Real butter would work well too. I hope you'll give them another try someday! I think you might have better results with a different breading.

We love them! Try them again and just use a little flour when you fry them. And we always soak in salted water too. Love Calder's review!!

Next time, just soak in salt water and rinse, then coat with a little flour and cornmeal and fry or use them in an omelet. They are a real treat!

I think they leave the secret to their decendents with the proviso they never tell anyone except the fruit of their loins where their beloved morels can be found.

We live in the mountains of CA and I taught our kids to identify them from a young age. They are great hunters and could really get down into the low and sneaky spots to find them. I used to make them regularly until my husband developed an allergic reaction to them (I made him sick twice before we figured out what the problem was!), so now it's strictly a treat for me. And yes, listen to the folks about soaking them. It's just like dealing with leeks. Mmmm, it's just about morel season here. And if you just saute them without the batter they wouldn't taste like eggs. They would taste like.....heaven. Oh my, morels are heaven food on earth!!

I've never soaked them, just washed them really well with a high-pressure sprayer. They're too delicate to scrub, but I think soaking them would change the natural flavor and texture. I don't live in a morel-rich area, so I only get a few each year, but they're a true delicassy. The photos in this post make the Morels look particularly slimy. They don't normally look so gooey and I've never seen a roly poly in them. If you're not a mushroom person though, they probably aren't your best bet!

My beloved morels. *sigh* We used to hunt them when I lived up in da UP, eh. Haven't had them since as I'm not one to pay for them. (The price? oy. It kills me - or at least my annual budget.) But I'll stand by the others - no egg, no crackers. Soak in salt water (not too salty though!) over night - then rinse well and fry 'em up in good fresh butter. I like them best with just a dash of cream and served over a nice medium-rare steak. Uhoh. I'm drooling on my keyboard again. Oh dear.
