1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumb
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

3/4 cup sour cream

Tips:

  • Prepare the dough in advance: Making the dough ahead of time allows it to rest and develop gluten, resulting in a more pliable and easier-to-roll dough. You can make the dough up to 2 days in advance and keep it refrigerated until ready to use.
  • Use high-quality seafood: Fresh, high-quality seafood is essential for a delicious strudel. Look for seafood that is bright in color, firm, and has a mild smell.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Overcooked seafood becomes tough and rubbery. Cook the seafood just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and color to the strudel. Choose vegetables that cook quickly, such as spinach, zucchini, and mushrooms.
  • Don't overfill the strudel: Overfilling the strudel will make it difficult to roll and may cause it to burst during baking.
  • Chill the strudel before baking: Chilling the strudel before baking helps the dough to set and prevents it from becoming too puffy. This also makes it easier to slice the strudel after baking.

Conclusion:

Seafood strudel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or light lunch. With its flaky crust, tender seafood filling, and flavorful vegetables, this strudel is sure to impress your guests.
