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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped shallots and cook for about 2 minutes, until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring as you go. Let the mixture thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 9

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets into rectangles approximately 30x25 cm (12x10 inches).

Step 10

Spoon the mushroom filling along one side of each pastry sheet, leaving a 2 cm (1 inch) border around the edges.

Step 11

Fold the pastry over the filling to create a log shape. Pinch and seal the edges tightly to enclose the strudel.

Step 12

Place the strudels seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 13

Brush the tops with beaten egg and, if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 15

Let the strudel cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
