Ingredients 

  • 8-10 spears fresh asparagus
  • 10-12 whole fresh morel mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves grated garlic
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 whole eggs
  • 4 slices baguette
  • Hellman's mayonnaise

Instructions

Gather all ingredients before starting the recipe.

  • Cut 1" off the ends of 8-10 spears fresh asparagus and place in a microwave safe dish. Rinse under running water, drain and cover with cling wrap. Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until the asparagus is crisp tender.
  • Drain asparagus and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Place 10-12 whole fresh morel mushrooms in a water bath. Rinse and add new water 2 or 3 times until the water is clear when you pour it off. Place rinsed morels on paper towel to drain and set aside.
  • Melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves grated garlic and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper stir to combine. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the garlic is soft and becomes fragrant. Do not brown.
  • Increase heat to medium high and add the mushrooms, toss to combine and sauté until the mushrooms have lost some of their juice and are beginning to get a bit firm, about 5 minutes.
  • While sautéing the mushrooms, add 4 whole eggs to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Remove mushrooms to a plate, drain the butter and oil but leave a film at the bottom of the pan and add the whisked eggs.
  • Gently fold, lifting and turning the liquid egg over itself to create soft pillowy clouds.

Serving

  • Toast 4 slices baguette and spread each slice with a thin layer of Hellman's mayonnaise. Top the baguette slices with 4-5 spears of steamed asparagus. Top the asparagus with scrambled eggs and finally add the garlic butter sauteed morels. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.
