Method
- Put the bread on a saucer and drizzle with the milk. Melt the butter in a saucepan and cook the shallots over a low heat for 6-8 minutes until translucent and slightly golden.
- Add the chopped morels, increase the heat and fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring. Stir in the garlic and fry for another minute.
- Tear the bread into pieces and add it to the pan, stirring, until it has broken down completely. Pour in the stock, bring to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes until the mushrooms are very soft.
- Add the parsley, nutmeg and a few drops of truffle oil (if using), then blend until smooth. Add the cream, season to taste, then bring back to the boil. Pour into Thermos flasks. Serve in mugs with a drizzle of cream and a sprinkle of parsley.
