Print Recipe

Create a delightful Spinach and Mushroom Strudel, a perfect savory pastry for your holiday gatherings. This recipe brings together earthy mushrooms, fresh spinach, and creamy cheese, all wrapped in flaky pastry.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 250g mushrooms, sliced
  • 200g fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
  • 100g cream cheese, softened
  • 50g grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/400°F).
  2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and mushrooms to the pan. Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Let the filling cool slightly.
  6. Lay the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
  7. Spoon the spinach and mushroom filling onto the pastry, leaving a border around the edges.
  8. Fold the sides of the pastry over the filling, then roll it up to enclose the filling. Pinch the seams to seal.
  9. Place the strudel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. Brush the top of the strudel with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
  12. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use vegan cream cheese and omit the Parmesan cheese or use a vegan alternative. Ensure your puff pastry is vegan.
  • You can add other vegetables like leeks or bell peppers to the filling.
  • A sprinkle of nutmeg in the filling complements the spinach and mushrooms nicely.
