Use FILTER with CONTAINS

The column in my table follows this structure:

Time
["morning";"afternoon"]
["morning"]
["night"]
["night";"afternoon"]


I want to create a measure that counts the number of rows that contains the string "morning". Based on the example column above, the measure should return 2.
I've created the measure:

_measure = COUNTROWS(FILTER(MyTable,CONTAINS(MyTable,MyTable[Time],"morning")))
but is showing me a "in blank" result.
