How to clean and prep morels

Soooo I stumbled across a load of morels today and now don't know what to do with them. Can the FDB give me some pointers on prep for cooking and ideas on ways to cook them?

I love a morel cream sauce to top a steak. Usually served over a filet at restaurants- but I like to use it over a porterhouse every now and then for variety. Great sauce and great taste.
Here's a recipe I found online for the cream sauce and recommended prep for morels.

Nothing worse than a guy with dirty morels.

No morels at all?

Just lightly rinse them or wipe them off. Most commercially grown mushrooms are grown in crap of some kind, morels are not.
Most people just lightly pan saute them basically. You can sprinkle a little flower and then saute in butter. You can use them in anything you would a regular mushroom though.

I can't help you with the prep for cooking, but I had a tortellini dish at Domenica recently that was delicious. Cheese stuffed tortellini with morels in a cream sauce. I tried to recreate it with other mushrooms and it was good, but not as good as the Domenica version.

Culinary speaking, my favorite mushroom. Consider yourself lucky with that nice find because I have to order mine dried online.

I like them in a light cream sauce with ramps or asparagus over pasta. Rinse lightly and quarter. Check for bugs. But don’t clean until ready to cook (any mushrooms) because they will start turning into mush. Sauté in butter, add a tablespoon or so of flour, salt, pepper, heavy cream. Shave some Parmesan on top. Something along those lines.
Where did you locate those?

Do morels grow down south? I thought they were a midwestern thing.
I had a yellow perch/morel dish up north a few years ago that was in my top five all time meals

I think Op is in Oklahoma. Yeah he’s in the wrong place to ask really as we don’t really get them. They do have them in Tennessee and Kentucky though.

That's a nice mess of morels; it's been a little too cold here in MO but they should start showing up this week or next. The only kind of hunting I do, but it's my favorite couple weeks of the year.
We've always just fried them up. Usually egg bath and then a cracker crumb or flour coating and pan-fried, then salted. That's how 95% of them cook them here in the Midwest, although I think that to be honest most of us are missing out on making them in interesting ways.

Yup. Found these in west-central Oklahoma.
