Instructions
Reconstitute Dried Morel Mushrooms (See our recipe for details.)
Preheat oven to 350.
Place sliced bread on a baking sheet.
Brush each piece with olive oil.
Bake until bread is lightly toasted, 10-15 minutes. Arrange toast on a serving tray.
In a large skillet, melt butter over MEDIUM HIGH heat.
Add morels and saute 2-3 minutes.
Add thyme and season with salt and pepper. Saute until morels are tender, about 3 minutes.
Add leeks to mushrooms and saute until soft, 3-4 minutes more.
Stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Pour mixture into a serving bowl and then place the bowl on top of the serving tray with the toast.
Place goat cheese on the tray. Let everyone assemble their own crostini: smear a bit of goat cheese on toast, then top with a spoonful of morels.
