Sauté Aromatics:
In a large frying pan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and cook until softened, approximately 5 minutes. -
Mushroom Magic:
Introduce the star of the show – chopped mushrooms. Increase the heat to medium-high and stir occasionally until the mushrooms are tender, and any excess moisture has evaporated. -
Seasoning Symphony:
Season the mushroom mixture with salt, pepper, thyme, and a splash of lemon juice. Stir well to ensure the flavors blend harmoniously. -
Cheesy Elegance:
Remove the pan from heat and add ham, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped parsley, and breadcrumbs to the mushroom mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Let the mixture cool. -
Phyllo Pastry Prep:
Divide the mushroom filling into two portions. Brush 4 sheets of phyllo pastry lightly with melted butter, stacking them neatly on top of each other. -
Mustard Marvel:
About 1 inch from one long edge of the phyllo pastry, spread half of the Dijon mustard in a 2-inch wide strip, leaving a 1-inch border on both sides. -
Filling Finesse:
Over the mustard, spread half of the mushroom filling. Sprinkle the filling and phyllo pastry with half of the grated parmesan cheese. -
Rolling Revelry:
Turn up the bottom edge of the pastry over the mushroom filling, then turn both side edges in and brush the exposed phyllo pastry with butter. Roll up the strudel, jelly-roll fashion, loosely but compactly. -
Repeat and Bake:
Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo pastry, butter, filling, and parmesan cheese. Brush the top with butter and use a sharp knife to cut 8 slits on a diagonal across the top of each roll. Bake at 375 degrees F for about 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crisp. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Allow the Mushroom Strudel to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Revel in the delicious layers and savory flavors as you serve this masterpiece to your guests.
