Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices baguette
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup fresh morels, cleaned
1 teaspoon minced shallot
2 tablespoons cream sherry
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup shelled, peeled fava beans
1/8 cup thinly sliced ramp leaves or chives
1 slice cooked bacon, crumbled
Shaved aged Sonoma Jack or Parmesan cheese, for garnish
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  • Add sherry to deglaze and cook until almost evaporated. Add cream and let cook until reduced and thickened slightly. Stir in fava beans and ramp leaves or chives.
  • Divide morel mixture evenly among toasted baguette slices; top with crumbled bacon and garnish with cheese. Serve.

I made this for my family last night and they loved it! The morels were a bit chewy, but the flavor was amazing. The fava beans added a nice touch of sweetness, and the goat cheese was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this aga
