Croûte aux morilles

Croûte aux morilles is a traditional dish from the French region of Franche-Comté. It consists of a piece of toasted bread paired with morel mushrooms in a creamy sauce. Sometimes, the dish is served in a puff pastry casing. It is best to consume croûte aux morilles in April or May, as it is the time of year when mushrooms are the most abundant in the Franche-Comté forests. Traditionally, the dish is accompanied by young white wines from the Jura region.
