6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter |
1 onion, chopped |
1 bosc pear, peeled, halved, cored, sliced |
3/4 cup (packed) grated dry jack cheese or 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup grated sharp white cheddar cheese |
3 teaspoons whole grain dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 sheets frozen phyllo pastry, thawed |
Directions:
1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until brown, about 7 minutes. Add pear and sauté 3 minutes. Transfer pear mixture to medium bowl. Cool slightly. Stir in cheese, mustard and salt.
2. Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface. (Cover remaining phyllo with plastic wrap and damp kitchen towel.) Brush with melted butter. Top with second phyllo sheet. Brush with melted butter. Arrange half of pear mixture in log along 1 short end of phyllo, leaving 1-inch border at each end of pear mixture. Fold in sides and roll up tightly into log. Brush all over with butter. Transfer to large baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo, butter, and pear mixture. (Strudels can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
