Sausage, Cheese & Mushroom Strudel

Ingredients

  • 1 roll puff pastry
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small shallot (if desired) minced
  • 1½-2 cups mushrooms sliced (500 grams)
  • 2 Italian sausages (without casing chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1-2 dashes pepper
  • 1 cup cheese shredded (fontina, swiss, cheddar, gruyere or your choice)

EGG WASH

  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • In a large frying pan add the olive oil, minced shallot, sliced mushrooms, chopped sausage, parsley, oregano, salt & pepper, cook for about 10-15 minutes on medium high heat stirring often until the sausage is just browned. Move to a clean bowl and let cool.
  • Pre-heat oven to 375F (190C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out the puff pastry, gently roll it out a couple of times to even it out, then place it on the prepared cookie sheet. Sprinkle half the shredded cheese down the middle of the dough, top with the mushroom/sausage mixture, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Make slits about 1/2 inch thick on both sides of the dough until you reach the filling. Fold the cut strips over the filling, like a braid.  Brush with an egg wash or milk. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden and cooked. Let cool 5-10 minutes then slice and serve.

EGG WASH

  • In a small bowl combine 1 egg and 2 tablespoons of milk, beat to combine.
