This is a classic dish in my family. Two tips: 1) If your morels are large ones, split them in half lengthwise. 2) 8 minutes is a long time to sauté the shallots and 'shrooms. Try 4 1/2 to 5 minutes. Florence is dead on about the eggs. Don't overcook them.
This is a wonderful classic, I followed the recipe except for added a tiny little bit of creme fraiche to the eggs at the end. Yum!
