MUSHROOM STRUDEL

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil. Add shallots and garlic, and soften. Add sliced mushrooms.
• Season with salt and pepper, and cook over low heat until tender. If juices exude, raise the heat, and cook until they evaporate.
• Stir in 3/4 of herbs and remove from heat. Spread mushrooms on a pan to dry, and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• When dry and cool, transfer mushrooms to a large bowl, and combine with whole egg-egg yolk mixture.
• Move rack to middle of oven, and heat to 400 F.
• Place puff pastry on a parchment-lined baking pan. Roll to remove any creases and to elongate slightly. Brush the surface with egg wash, and sprinkle on remaining herbs.
• Spread mushrooms evenly over first 3/4 of pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around edges.
• Flip over edge nearest to you, and lay it on the top 1/4 so that puff pastry touches puff pastry, encasing mushrooms completely in a cylinder. Don't roll in pinwheel fashion for strudel because the puff pastry in the interior will never bake, and it will become gummy.
• Move strudel to the center of baking pan and tuck in ends. Brush entire surface with egg wash.
• Using the back of a knife, run crisscross pattern over strudel. If desired, add cut-out leaves, flowers, and vines from a portion of the second sheet of puff pastry. (Frozen grocery store puff pastry typically comes two sheets to a box). Egg wash the designs.
• Bake until golden brown and puffed, anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on your oven. Let rest at least 2 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife.

MUSHROOM STRUDEL

Steps:

• In a large skillet, over medium heat, combine oil, mushrooms, onion and garlic.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir frequently, until mushrooms have released their liquid and most of that liquid is evaporated.
• Add the wine, the thyme, the basil, the spinach and the lemon rind.
• Saute until the liquid is evaporated.
• Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
• Stir in cheese, 4 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line a cookie sheet with buttered parchment paper.
• Lay out one sheet of phyllo, brush with melted butter, top with another sheet of phyllo and brush again with butter.
• Repeat (using in total four sheet of dough).
• Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the phyllo dough.
• Lay out mushroom mixture over one end of Phyllo dough.
• Carefully roll into a strudel, tucking in the ends.
• Brush the strudel with butter.
• Bake until golden and crisp--about 30 minutes.

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.

• Lay phyllo dough on a clean dish towel and spread mushroom mixture about 1 inch away from short edge of dough. Fold sides over about 1/2 inch and use towel to help you roll it up like a jellyroll. Place roll on prepared baking sheet and coat lightly with cooking spray.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until phyllo is golden brown. Allow strudel to cool 5 minutes before cutting into 12 slices.

SAUSAGE & MUSHROOM STRUDELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• If either of the sausage meats is coarsely ground, place the meat in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until the meat is finely ground.
• Heat 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan, add the onion and cook for 4 to 6 minutes over medium heat, until tender but not browned. Add all the sausage meat and mash with a fork, breaking it up and browning it, for 5 to 7 minutes, until no longer pink.
• Meanwhile, prep the mushrooms. Without washing the mushrooms, wipe the caps with a slightly damp paper towel or sponge to remove any dirt. Trim the stems, then roughly chop the caps and stems. Add the mushrooms, fennel seeds, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to the sausage and cook for 10 minutes, until the mushrooms give off their liquid and the liquid evaporates. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Stir in the mascarpone and the fresh bread crumbs and season to taste. The seasoning will depend on how highly seasoned the sausage meat is.
• Melt the remaining 12 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan. Unfold the phyllo dough and keep it covered with a slightly damp (not wet!) kitchen towel. Transfer one sheet of phyllo to a board, brush it lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with a teaspoon of dry bread crumbs. Place a second sheet of phyllo directly on top, brush with butter and sprinkle with dry bread crumbs; repeat until you have 5 sheets piled up. With the long edge of the stack of phyllo facing you, make a 1-inch strip of sausage filling (about 1/3 of the filling) near the bottom edge. Fold up the sides and roll the phyllo firmly up and over, rolling the log away from you. Transfer the log, seam side down, to the prepared sheet pan. Brush with butter and score diagonally at 1-inch intervals. Make two more strudel logs and place them on the sheet pan.
• Bake the strudels for 20 to 30 minutes, rotating the pan once to cook evenly, until browned. Cool slightly, cut in pieces through the scored lines and serve warm.
