Chef Bryan Crosby at the Inn at Beulah Beach in Beulah creates this lovely strata in the Spring when Morel mushrooms are in season and are available. Bryan's mother who lives in the Pacific Northwest shared this recipe with him which called for Chantelle mushrooms. Bryan, from Michigan , was not to be outdone. He substitutes fresh Morels which grow wild in Michigan for the Chantelles.
