Add butter to a pan and fry onions, leek, parsley, chervil and add garlic. Add the bay leaves and top with veal stock. Bring to a boil.
Lower the temperature, add morels and herbs, and leave to simmer for 1h.
In the meantime, prepare the mash. Peel the carrots and the potato, dice and add to a pot of salted boiling water and 1 glass of veal stock. Cook until tender.
In a bowl, mix together flour and 2 tbsp of veal stock. Add to the simmering pot of leeks and morels.
In another bowl, mix half of the creme fraiche with the egg yolk. Add to the pot. Cook for 2 more minutes and turn the heat off.
Separately, cook the veal steaks on a pan. Brush them slightly with oil, salt and pepper. Place on a very hot pan and fry for 3 minutes on each side. Then turn off the heat, add a lid and leave it to steam for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Once the carrots are cooked through, drain most of the water, add 30g of parsley butter and the rest of the creme fraiche and mash until smooth.
Plate the mash on the place, then add the morels and leek blanquette sauce and the veal steak. Top with micro parsley and serve!
