Morel Mushrooms
VegetarianPrized spring morels lend a deep, nutty, woodland richness to pizza.
Morel mushrooms are one of spring's great delicacies, with a honeycombed cap that soaks up butter and cream and a flavour that is nutty, earthy, and intensely savoury. Sliced and briefly sautéed before topping a pizza, morels turn a simple white pie into something special. Always cook morels thoroughly and clean them carefully.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do morels need to be cooked before going on pizza?
Yes. Always cook morels thoroughly. Slice and sauté them in butter first, both for food safety and to concentrate their nutty, woodland flavour before they top the pizza.
What cheese goes with morels on pizza?
Mild, creamy cheeses let morels shine. Fresh goat cheese, fontina, or a white garlic-parmesan cream base all complement their earthy richness.
