For the Egg Bites:

  2. In a sauté pan over high heat, add butter and morels and sauté for a few minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper and a pinch of chopped parsley. Set aside, reserving a third of the morels for garnishing.
  3. Add spinach, spring peas, parsley, and sliced morels to the egg mixture and mix well. Pour contents into a lightly greased glass canning jar, leaving about a quarter of the jar empty to allow for expansion. Seal the jar and cook for one hour at 176°F (80°C).

Top the jar with the reserved morels and serve with lemon-dressed arugula.
