How to make it
In a large frying pan add the olive oil, minced shallot, sliced mushrooms, chopped sausage and spices, cook for about 10 minutes on medium high heat. Move to a clean bowl and let cool.
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.
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 in the preheated oven until golden and cooked. Let cool 5-10 minutes then slice and serve.
What is Strudel?
Strudel is a rolled or stuffed pastry that can be sweet or salty, but its best known version is sweet made with apples, pine nuts, raisins and cinnamon. It’s place of origin is Austria.
What is the perfect dough for strudel?
Homemade strudel dough is soft and elastic and made with a just a few ingredients. It is stretched into a paper thin sheet. But for this recipe I am using a store-bought puff pastry although this Easy Puff Pastry Dough can also be used.
What to substitute for mushrooms?
We really love mushrooms, but I do realize not everyone does, so a good substitution would be peppers, broccoli rabe, onions, potatoes thin sliced or even mashed, or even scallops. Or if you have any other suggestions let me know.
How to store it
Cover the leftover strudel loosely with plastic wrap or foil. It will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. It can be re-heated in a low oven before serving.
The strudel can also be frozen before baking. Wrap it in plastic wrap and place on a cookie sheet, place it in the freezer for a few hours or until firm and frozen. Then place the wrapped strudel in an airtight freezer safe container or bag and place again in the freezer. It will keep for up to 2-3 weeks. Bake it straight from the freezer, although it will need a bit more time baking.
