Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
- 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
- 450 grams Mushrooms (e.g., button or cremini), finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Thyme leaves, fresh
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 whole Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Stir in the chopped shallots and cook for about 2 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Mix in the finely chopped mushrooms and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 8-10 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring as you go. Let the mixture thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets into rectangles approximately 30x25 cm (12x10 inches).
Spoon the mushroom filling along one side of each pastry sheet, leaving a 2 cm (1 inch) border around the edges.
Fold the pastry over the filling to create a log shape. Pinch and seal the edges tightly to enclose the strudel.
Place the strudels seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with beaten egg and, if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Let the strudel cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
