Servings: persons

6 (4-inch) morel mushrooms
1 tablespoon pine nuts, or more to taste
1/3 cup cooked crabmeat
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 pinch ground white pepper
1 pinch garlic powder
1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
2 egg whites
1/2 cup Italian-style bread crumbs

1
Clean morels thoroughly, rinsing the insides as best as possible. Cut stem down to 1 inch to create a clear opening to insert stuffing.
2
Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, shaking frequently until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool; chop finely.
3
Combine pine nuts, crabmeat, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, thyme, pepper, garlic powder in a food processor; pulse into a fine paste.
4
Spoon crab paste into a heavy-duty plastic bag and snip off 1 corner with scissors. Pipe paste into morels.
5
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with butter.
6
Beat 2 egg whites in a bowl. Place bread crumbs in a second bowl. Roll stuffed morels in the egg whites, then coat evenly with bread crumbs. Place morels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between them.
7
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Flip morels and rotate the baking sheet every 5 minutes to ensure even baking. Serve while still warm.
