CHEDDAR BROCCOLI STRUDEL



Cheddar Broccoli Strudel image

This is the first recipe I ever made with filo pastry (or phyllo, found in the frozen section of the grocery store). I was brave and made it for a dinner party for a bunch of non-vegetarian friends. It turned out beautifully, with a golden flaky crust and savory cheese-broccoli filling. Rave reviews. Some Notes: 1. Use really good bread crumbs, you can make 'em yourself using good bread thats a few days old and either a food processor or a cheese grater. 2. You can make it vegan easily enough by substituting soy cheese or omitting the cheese completely. 3. I think this is from a Mollie Katzen cookbook :)

1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups breadcrumbs, homemade
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
2 tablespoons lemon juice

3 -4 tablespoons olive oil (for basting the phyllo)

  • To assemble: Place one sheet of phyllo on a clean, dry countertop. Brush the top lightly with olive oil, then add a second sheet. continue this process until there is a pile of five sheets. Add half the filling in the shape of a log to the short end of the phyllo pastry. fold in the sides (about 1/2 inch), then gently roll up so you have a neat little log (this process is easier than it sounds, think of it as a pastry burrito).
  • Repeat the procedure to make a second roll.
  • Carefully lift the pastries onto the baking sheet 4 inches apart.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Cut slices with a serated edge knife in a gentle sawing motion.
