Mushroom and goat cheese strudel with balsamic syrup

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 tablespoons Plus 6 teaspoons olive oil
½ cup Thinly sliced shallots
4 Garlic cloves; minced
1 pounds Mushrooms; chopped
¼ cup Sherry wine vinegar
⅓ cup Dry Sherry
2 tablespoons Finely chopped fresh parsley
3 Fresh phyllo pastry sheets or frozen; thawed
½ cup Crumbled soft fresh goat cheese; (such as Montrachet)
½ cup Balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Mild-flavored; (light) molasses

Directions

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic; saute 4 minutes. Increase heat to high. Add mushrooms; saute until tender and golden, about 15 minutes. Add Sherry wine vinegar, then Sherry; boil until almost all liquid evaporates, about 6 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper. Cool. Mix in 2 tablespoons parsley.

Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface. Brush with 2 teaspoons oil. Top with second phyllo sheet; brush with 2 teaspoons oil. Top with third phyllo sheet. Sprinkle cheese along 1 long side of phyllo, 1 inch in from edge.

Spoon mushroom mixture over cheese. Fold short ends over. Starting at long filled side, roll phyllo up tightly. Place seam side down on baking sheet.

Brush with remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Using long sharp knife, score top of strudel through phyllo, making 8 evenly spaced cuts. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)

Preheat oven to 375F. Bake strudel until golden brown, about 50 minutes.

Meanwhile, boil balsamic vinegar and molasses in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until reduced to 2½ tablespoons, about 10 minutes. Cool.

Using serrated knife, cut hot strudel at score marks into 8 rounds. Drizzle balsamic syrup onto each of 4 plates. Place 2 slices of strudel over syrup on each plate.

Makes 4 first-course servings.
