I love strudels. I haven't made strudel in a long time, but came across this recipe recently(stuck back in my archives) and will make this tonight! Yum! Ingredients:

1 lb chopped mushroom (4 cups packed, raw) |
1 teaspoon salt |
freshly grated black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon ground caraway or 1/2 teaspoon dill seed |
8 ounces cream cheese (you can substitute 1/2 pot or cottage cheese) |
1/2 cup sour cream |
1/2 cup yogurt |
1 cup fine breadcrumbs |
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley |
2 scallions, minced (include green part) |
1 lemon, juice of |
2 tablespoons poppy seeds |
Directions:
1. Filling: Steam mushrooms, drain, squeezing out excess liquid (Save liquid for soupstock).
2. Cut cream cheese into hot mushrooms, tossing until cheese melts.
3. Add remaining filling ingredients; mix well.

5. Melt the butter.
6. Lay a leaf of phyllo flat on a wooden surface (or Formica counter) and brush with melted butter.
7. Add another leaf and brush with more butter (be generous).
8. Continue to stack the leaves until you have 5.
