Preparation
- Soak morels in cool water with a bit of salt for 2 minutes. Check for foreign matter. Dry on a cloth towel.
- Cut off the base of the larger morels and dice the smaller ones.
- Cut up the bacon and cook crisply. Drain thoroughly and crumble.
- Saute the onion in 2 tablespoons butter until translucent. Add the pecans and saute 1 minute longer. Add the bacon and diced morels and cook 1 minute longer. Use this mixture to stuff the 12 large morels.
- Place stuffed morels in a casserole just large enough to hold them upright. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter and pour over morels. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, making sure they do not burn.
