Flaky phyllo wrapped around earthy sauteed mushrooms, sweet leeks, and garlicky butter.
7 steps, about 50 minutes start to finish.
Chop mushrooms and slice leeks
Sauté mushrooms and leeks with garlic in butter until moisture evaporates
Season with salt and pepper
Let mixture cool completely
Wrap in phyllo dough or puff pastry
Bake at 375°F for about 20 minutes until golden
Let cool 10 minutes before slicing
“Drive off all the moisture from the mushrooms and leeks until the pan is dry, or the pastry goes soggy from the inside. Cool the filling completely before wrapping, and rest the baked strudel before slicing so it doesn't crush.”
