  • Yield: 6 large stuffed mushrooms

  • Gently clean whole morel mushrooms of dirt and grit; place mushrooms, stem sides down, in a colander and drain for about 5 minutes.
  • Trim bottoms of the hollow stems, so the hole is big enough for filling.
  • Mix cream cheese, crabmeat, and green onion in a bowl until evenly combined.
  • Spoon mixture into a heavy resealable plastic bag. Force the cream cheese mixture into a corner of the bag. Cut a small snip off the corner of the bag.
  • Insert cut tip of the plastic bag into the hollow stem of each mushroom and fill the mushrooms with the cream cheese mixture.
  • Place dry breading mix in a shallow bowl. Roll the stuffed mushrooms in the dry mix; tap off excess breading.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Deep-fry the stuffed mushrooms until the breading is golden brown and the mushrooms are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Allow to drain on paper towels.
