Morels are a delicious and unique mushroom that can be enjoyed fresh or cooked. Here are some tips on how to clean and prepare morels:

  1. Remove the stem from the morel mushrooms.
  2. Cut the morels in half if they are large.
  3. Remove any dirt, debris, or brown patches with a brush or your fingers.
  4. If the morels have been stored in a sealed container, rinse them under cold water to remove any residual chemicals or pesticides.
  5. Pat the morels dry with paper towels and place them in a baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper if you plan to cook them right away. Drizzle olive oil over them if desired and bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until they are tender and lightly browned around the edges. ..
