1 clove of garlic

3½ tbsp white wine

Heat the butter in a frying pan. Sauté the morels, shallot and garlic over low to medium heat for approximately 5 minutes. Add white wine and cognac and allow to simmer briefly. Pour in the cream and simmer for approximately 5 minutes until the sauce is thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips
