Ingredients

• 6 sheets phyllo dough sheets
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 10 ounces cremini mushrooms
• 8 ounces asparagus
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 0.25 cup breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms into thin slices. Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden and soft. Add the minced garlic and thyme, and sauté briefly until fragrant. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 4

Add the asparagus to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Stir in the cooked mushroom and asparagus mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Sprinkle with a small amount of breadcrumbs to prevent sogginess. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets, stacking them on top of each other.

Step 7

Spoon the mushroom and asparagus filling onto the phyllo sheets, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges. Gently roll up the phyllo into a log, tucking the ends under to seal, and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the surface of the strudel to promote a golden finish.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the strudel to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm as an appetizer or main dish.
