Mushroom Cheese And Vegetable Strudel Recipes

WILD MUSHROOM STRUDEL

Steps:

• For the mushrooms: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Stir together cremini and oyster mushrooms, sherry, oil, thyme, dill and some salt and pepper in a roasting pan, then roast for 10 minutes. Allow to cool. Remove and discard herb stems.
• For the filling: Sweat carrots, fennel, onions and celery in oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat until soft. Turn off heat and add goat cheese to melt. Transfer to a half-sheet pan to cool.
• For the strudel: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 3 sheet pans with parchment and spray with nonstick spray. (Each strudel must be rolled and baked on its own sheet pan.)
• Mix mushrooms together with the veggies in a large bowl.
• Lay each sheet of pastry on a lined sheet pan.
• Brush the border of each pastry with egg wash, then sprinkle panko in a line down the center of the pastry. Spoon a third of the filling in a line on top of the panko, then sprinkle more panko on top to absorb excess liquid.
• Roll up tightly (like a burrito) and lay seam-side down. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with dill, salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then switch and rotate the sheet pans and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Cool, then cut into 1/2-inch slices.

MUSHROOM AND GOAT CHEESE STRUDEL WITH BALSAMIC SYRUP

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic; sauté 4 minutes. Increase heat to high. Add mushrooms; sauté until tender and golden, about 15 minutes. Add Sherry wine vinegar, then Sherry; boil until almost all liquid evaporates, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool. Mix in 2 tablespoons parsley.
• Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface. Brush with 2 teaspoons oil. Top with second phyllo sheet; brush with 2 teaspoons oil. Top with third phyllo sheet. Sprinkle cheese along 1 long side of phyllo, 1 inch in from edge. Spoon mushroom mixture over cheese. Fold short ends over. Starting at long filled side, roll phyllo up tightly. Place seam side down on baking sheet. Brush with remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Using long sharp knife, score top of strudel through phyllo, making 8 evenly spaced cuts. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake strudel until golden brown, about 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, boil balsamic vinegar and molasses in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until reduced to 2 1/2 tablespoons, about 10 minutes. Cool.
• Using serrated knife, cut hot strudel at score marks into 8 rounds. Drizzle balsamic syrup onto each of 4 plates. Place 2 slices of strudel over syrup on each plate.

MUSHROOM STRUDEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Mince mushrooms and squeeze them dry in the corner of a towel.
• Sauté with minced shallots or green onions in butter and oil over moderately high heat, stirring frequently. Cook until pieces separate and the liquid has evaporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Blend in cream cheese.
• Spread a sheet of strudel or filo dough on a damp towel, narrow end toward you. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle on bread crumbs. Repeat with second and third sheets, stacking them on top of the first sheet, then butter, but do not crumb fourth sheet. Put half the mushroom mixture on narrower edge of the dough, leaving a 2- to 3-inch border at the sides. Fold in the sides, then, using the edge of the towel, roll. Prepare the second strudel.
• Put strudels on buttered baking sheet and brush with melted butter. Bake in oven until brown (about 20 minutes). The strudel cuts easily with shears. Strudel can be made and baked ahead, stored in the refrigerator or in the freezer overnight, and then reheated.
