For a deeper flavor, consider sautéing the mushroom stems with a splash of dry sherry or white wine. Fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives can be added to the crab filling for extra freshness. If you cannot find fresh morels, you can substitute with dried morels, rehydrated in warm water. Be sure to squeeze out excess water before using. Serve immediately as an appetizer or side dish.
