Description

This Mushroom and Leek Strudel is a savory, vegetarian delight featuring flaky phyllo pastry filled with sautéed mushrooms, leeks, garlic, and fresh herbs. Perfect for any occasion, this versatile dish offers a crispy exterior with a tender, creamy filling. It can be made ahead, baked when needed, and served as an appetizer, brunch dish, or even a main course.


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large leek, chopped
  • 2 pounds mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • 12 sheets phyllo dough
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling:

    • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Add chopped leeks and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
    • Add chopped mushrooms, cooking until they release moisture and become tender (5-7 minutes).
    • Stir in minced garlic, cooking for another minute.
    • Pour in white wine, letting it evaporate, then add heavy cream and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
    • Remove from heat, stir in fresh parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Let cool completely.
  • Assemble the Strudel:

    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and lightly brush with melted butter. Layer 5 more sheets, brushing each with butter.
    • Spoon half of the cooled filling along the center and sprinkle with half of the grated Parmesan.
    • Fold the short ends of phyllo over the filling, then roll up the strudel from one long side to the other.
    • Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with more melted butter. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan.
    • Repeat for the second strudel.
  • Bake:

    • Bake for 18-22 minutes, until phyllo is golden brown and crisp.
    • Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: Assemble the strudels a day in advance and refrigerate, or freeze unbaked for up to 3 months.
  • Storage/Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
