My parents always knew the woods on our farm were home to morel mushrooms, but  we never went hunting for them. That is until my Dad found out a few family members and friends enjoyed them. Now he spends a few afternoons a summer scouring the ground to bring home a basket full of morels. 

I was lucky to be home one weekend when my dad was harvesting the morel mushrooms and I was able to sneak away with a few. I had never cooked anything with morels before, but I thought they would make a delicious flatbread. And boy, did they ever!

This flatbread can be nibbled on as a light appetizer or be made into the star of the show as a delicious entrée. If morels are hard to come by, swap them out for your favorite type of mushroom. I’m sure the end result will be just as appetizing!
