Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces fresh morel mushrooms cleaned and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
