Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 sheet(s) phyllo pastry
8 slice prosciutto
1/2 red bell pepper cut into thin strips
3/4 - 1 lb thin, trimmed asparagus
1/3 c whole milk ricotta
4 oz goat cheese - softened
1/3 c alfredo sauce (your own or purchased)
1 large egg yolk
2 Tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese
4 Tbsp butter - melted
salt & pepper to taste
3 Tbsp minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • 1. Blanch the asparagus uncovered in a pot of boiling salted water for 2 - 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels and set aside.
  • 2. In a medium bowl mix together the ricotta, goat cheese, Alfredo sauce, egg yolk, chives, and salt and pepper to taste. (It's also awesome with Asiago cheese sauce instead of the Alfredo)
  • 3. Put 1 sheet of the phyllo on a work surface and keep the rest covered with a damp towel so that they don't dry out. Brush with some of the melted butter and then place the second sheet on top of the first again brushing with melted butter. Top that with a third sheet, brush with butter and sprinkle with 1 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese. Lay the 4th sheet over that and brush once again with the butter.
  • 4. Arrange 4 slices of the prosciutto along one short end overlapping as needed but leave a border of 1 1/2" on the bottom and both long sides. Spread half of the goat cheese mixture on top of the prosciutto.
  • 5. Take half of the asparagus and place them on top of the cheese parallel to the short end of the pastry. Arrange half of the red pepper strips in between the asparagus.
  • 6. Fold in the sides and bottom edge of the phyllo over the filling and roll it up to form a roll. Arrange seam side down on an ungreased baking sheet, brush the top and sides of the strudel with melted butter and cut several vents in the top of each.

1/2 c plain yogurt
salt
pepper
2 Tbsp mint, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400. Saute the onions in 2 tablespoons of the butter for 10 minutes, until soft but not browned.
  • 2. In another pan, heat 4 tablespoons of the butter and saute the crumbs until crisp.
  • 3. Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan. Spread one phyllo pastry sheet out on a large board and brush with butter. Put another pastry sheet on top and brush with more butter. Repeat until all sheets have been used.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, tender asparagus for the best results.

  • Blanch the asparagus spears briefly in boiling water to tenderize them and preserve their color.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the filling, such as ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella, for a rich and flavorful strudel.
  • Add other vegetables to the filling, such as chopped spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers, for a more colorful and flavorful strudel.
  • Brush the strudel with melted butter or olive oil before baking to give it a golden brown crust.
