Sauteed Mushrooms In Phyllo Crisps Recipes

MUSHROOM DUXELLE FOR PHYLLO KISSES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and saute the mushrooms for 15 to 20 minutes until all the moisture is gone. Add the shallots and garlic and saute 2 minutes longer. Remove the skillet from the heat and add in the Boursin, Asiago, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and allow it to cool in an uncovered bowl. While the mushroom mixture is cooling prepare the phyllo. Layer 3 sheets of phyllo pastry, lightly brushing each layer with melted butter using a pastry brush. Cut the layered phyllo into 4-inch squares using a pastry wheel or sharp knife. Keep pastry covered with a lightly damp towel until ready to fill. Using a spoon, place a small amount of the mushroom duxelle into the center of each Phyllo square and draw the corners of the squares up to the center and twist. Lightly brush with melted butter and place in a lined baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

MUSHROOM-AND-GOAT-CHEESE PURSES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium. Add shallots, garlic, and thyme and cook, stirring, until shallots are translucent, 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper; cook until mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated, 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then stir in goat cheese.
• Lay 1 sheet phyllo on a work surface and lightly brush with melted butter. (Keep extra phyllo covered while you work.) Stack 3 more sheets on top, brushing each with butter. Cut stack into 12 squares. Repeat with remaining 4 sheets and more butter to make 24 squares total.
• Top each square with 1 tablespoon mushroom mixture. Gather and pinch phyllo around mushroom mixture to form purses with ruffled tops. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

MUSHROOM PHYLLO STRUDEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Saute mushrooms in butter and olive oil till well-softened.
• Add sherry, thyme, cream, and salt/pepper and cook till thickened.
• Lay out the phyllo sheets, brushing each sheet with melted butter.
• Cut in half so you have two equal rectangles.
• Spread half the mushroom mixture over one of your phyllo rectangles, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
• Fold the short side edges over the mushroom mixture and then roll the whole thing lengthwise so you have a long, fat cylinder with no mushroom filling poking out.
• Repeat with remaining mushroom mixture and the other rectangle.
• Place rectangles side-by side, seam-side down, on a baking sheet, and bake in oven 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Let rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
• **Alternate preparation: Using two phyllo sheets at a time, cut into 6-8 strips and prepare as you would for spanakopita, folding each strip into a triangle.
• Use a Tbsp
• of the mushroom filling for each one.
