A spring delight


This dish was created on a night when there seemed to be nothing coming together mentally that said "perfect" to us.  The only thing that was certain was the fact that there were morels in the fridge from the Marin Farmer's Market and they were begging to be used.  We hadn't shopped for anything to go with them but a plan did crystallize.  

The idea sprung from staples, this is the stuff that is always on hand:  eggs, milk or cream, cheese, bread....even if it is not the freshest!  In what felt like no time we were tossing together a morel brioche bread pudding with blue cheese.  This inspiration almost had to be divine and the flavor smacked of heaven itself.  Fresh morels with cream and eggs......how could this go wrong?
 
The plate was gorgeous.  We also had some other beauties from the market.  Multi colored carrots, asparagus were sauteed and piled up beside the bread pudding and some arugula flowers topped it all off.  Another dirty secret?  Truffle oil, oh yes.
