Overall, I thought these strudels were a good recipe. They're a bit time-consuming to make, but they're worth the effort. I would definitely make them again.

I had some trouble getting the strudels to brown evenly. I think I would bake them at a lower temperature next time.

The strudels were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

I found the strudels to be a bit dry. I think I would add a little bit of butter or oil to the filling next time.

These strudels are a great way to use up leftover pears and mushrooms. They're also a great make-ahead meal, as they can be assembled ahead of time and then baked just before serving.

Amazing! I made these strudels for a dinner party and they were a huge hit. The combination of pears and mushrooms is unexpected but delicious, and the strudels are so easy to make. I will definitely be making these again.
