- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 large leek chopped
- 2 pounds mushrooms chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup white wine
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 12 sheets phyllo dough
- ¾ cup butter unsalted, melted
- 4 tablespoon Parmesan cheese grated
In a large skillet, heat the 2 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and mushrooms and cook and stir until mushrooms are lightly browned and leek is tender; about 5 minutes.
Add garlic, wine and cream; cook for a couple more minutes until all the liquid is almost evaporated. Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and let cool completely.
Preheat oven to 375℉.
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; brush with melted butter. Layer with 5 additional phyllo sheets, brushing each layer with butter. Keep remaining phyllo dough covered with a damp towel or with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
Spoon half of the mushroom and leek mixture down center third of phyllo dough to within 1 inch of ends. Sprinkle filling with 2 tbsp cheese. Fold up short sides to enclose filling. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side.
Transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet, seam side down. Brush with additional butter. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Bake 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.
Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
- Storage: You can store this recipe in the fridge or freezer. Place it in an airtight container or cover it securely with plastic wrap before storing in the fridge for 2 – 3 days.

To bake, it’s best to bake it straight from the freezer, this will prevent the strudel from getting soggy. Bake at 400 F degrees rather than the 375 as stated in the recipe.
