Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Place morels into a large bowl of warm, salted water and let soak for 30 minutes. Drain and blot dry with paper towels; set aside.
Step 3
Whisk together milk and egg in a small bowl until well combined. Combine flour, cracker crumbs, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and cumin in a large resealable plastic bag.
Step 4
While oil is heating, dip mushrooms, a few at a time, into milk mixture. Toss in breading mixture until coated; shake off excess.
Step 5
Working in batches, fry breaded mushrooms in hot oil until dark brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
