We live in Ky, and every spring it's a tradition to hunt Morels. In our family, if someone either has to work or for some other reason dosen't have time to hit the hills, the ones who do always share. Morels are a soring time treat with us, and this is our favorite way to fix them, and serve them as a side or appetizer.
