Crispy Morel Burger

 

Epic. That’s how I would describe this take on a burger. It was the perfect meal after a day of successful morel hunting. I loved it with a little spicy sriracha sauce.

Depending on how many burgers you make, you may need to double the flour seasoning and whisk an extra egg.

Crispy Morel Burger

  • 1 egg, whisked

  • 4-6 morels per burger

  • Burger fixings of your liking. I went with red onions, crunchy dill pickles and fresh lettuce.

  • Oil for pan frying

Flour seasoning (per 3/4 cup)

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp garlic salt

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • Dash of cayenne pepper

  • Ground pepper

Clean your morels. If you need to, you can toss in some fresh water and dry on a paper towel ahead of time.

Dredge the morels in the egg, followed by the flour. I recommend repeating this process twice for extra crispy morels.

Shallow fry with hot oil in a pan until all sides are golden brown. Assemble the burger and enjoy!
