Tired of boring old avocado toast? Turn your trendy breakfast into a culinary powerhouse by adding morel mushrooms!
Morels for Breakfast? Who would've thunk! Thanks to this recipe, my girls and I have been eating like royalty most mornings! - David S, Schenectady, New York
The first thought upon finding or buying morels is "how should I prepare this?". Typically, people settle on preparing a robust dinner, using the Morels as the star of the dish or a tasty supplement. This Chili-Fried Morel Recipe is a great example of that. Morels for dinner are unbelievably good, but where is the love for the most important meal of the day!?
Breakfast is a fantastic time to use morels and the anticipation of them can make waking up for the day much easier. Sure, you can make omelets or scrambled eggs with Morels, but we felt as if this special mushroom deserves a fancier platform for breakfast; Avocado Toast. Let's show you what we mean!
The Recipe: Morel Mushroom Avocado Toast :
Cooking Time = 15 Minutes
Ingredients
½ small avocado
½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine avocado, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash together with the back of a fork or spoon. Put aside when done. 2. Clean Fresh Morels or reconstituted Dried Morels (Tip: If reconstituting, you need to allow for about 30 mins of soaking prior to cooking)
