Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 1 hour
Rehydrate 300 g dried morels, and set aside the mushrooms "jus" (juice) you got.
Stage 2 - 1 min.
Stage 3 - 30 min.
Add the drained mushrooms, 3 glasses dry white wine and 2 or 3 ladles of mushroom water.
Cook the mushrooms in this mixture until all the liquid has evaporated.
Cook the mushrooms in this mixture until all the liquid has evaporated.
Stage 4 - 20 min.
Pour 1 kg 200 g liquid cream over the mushrooms, salt and pepper once more, then leave uncovered over low heat to thicken.
Stage 5 - 5 min.
Cut the bread into thick slices and butter.
Stage 6 - 6 min.
Stage 7 - 3 min.
Place a slice of fried bread on each plate. Tip: cut a hole in the middle of each slice with a cutter. You can then fill it with mushrooms more easily.
Stage 8
Divide the mushrooms in their cream sauce between the plates and serve immediately.
Remarks
As you can see from the photos, I used a mixture of wild mushrooms here, but morels are by far the best for this.
And to drink?
A dry white wine, the same as you have used in the recipe. I suggest a wine from the Jura, a Chardonnay or a Chardonnay-Savagnin blend.
Keeping: A few days in the fridge in a sealed container, then reheated to put on the bread at the last minute
