Thierry Meissonnier, Executive Chef, Hilton Chicago, Chicago, IL

Ingredients
2 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 oz. garlic, minced
3/4 cup shiitake mushrooms, julienne cut
3/4 cup button mushrooms, sliced
3 oz. porcini mushrooms, sliced
3 oz. portobello mushrooms, sliced
1 cup Marsala wine
1 sprig fresh thyme
2 sets Athens® Ready-To-Go Fillo Dough™, thawed
2 tbsp. butter, melted

In a large sauté pan, melt butter and sauté garlic for 3-4 minutes. Add shiitake, button, porcini, and portobello mushrooms and sauté briefly. Deglaze pan with Marsala and add thyme. Cook on low heat until all liquid has evaporated. Remove thyme and chill mushroom mixture.

Place half of mixture at one end of Athens® Ready-To-Go Fillo Dough™, leaving 1” from each side free of filling. Roll fillo tucking edges as you go. Place seam side down on baking pan, score strudel into 4 equal portions and seal with melted butter. Repeat. Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot with grilled or sautéed vegetables.
