Ingredients for the Roll
- 1 stick (110g) unsalted butter, melted
- 9 sheets phyllo dough
- 18-19 fresh mushrooms, diced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
- 1 teaspoon granulated chicken bouillon (or salt to taste)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Black pepper to taste
- 8 oz (225g) crumbled goat cheese
- Toasted sesame seeds, for sprinkling
Step-by-Step Recipe Instructions
Filling Preparation:
- Sauté the mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the melted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they begin to change color and release their liquid, about 5 minutes.
- Add herbs and seasonings: Stir in the thyme, chicken bouillon, and pepper to taste. Cook for 2 more minutes. Then, add the garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Thicken the mixture: Add the flour and mix well to absorb the moisture, cooking for 1-2 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Let the mixture cool completely.
Roll Assembly:
- Prepare the phyllo dough: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). On a baking sheet, place one sheet of phyllo dough and gently brush with melted butter. Repeat the process with 4-5 layers, ensuring each layer is well coated with butter.
- Add the filling: Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the mushroom mixture and stir well. Place this mixture in the center of the phyllo dough on the baking sheet.
- Form the roll: Fold the side edges of the dough inward and carefully roll to form a cylinder, ensuring the filling is well sealed. Place the roll with the seam side down on the baking sheet.
- Glaze and sprinkle: Brush the top of the roll with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Baking:
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the roll is golden and crispy.
Serve:
- Let cool for a few before slicing.
Chef's Tips:
- For a vegan option: Substitute butter with olive oil and goat cheese with a creamy vegan cheese or a tofu filling.
- Variation: Add a little nutmeg to the mushroom mixture for an extra touch of flavor.
- Pairing: This dish goes well with a white wine fresh wine like a Sauvignon Blanc or a dry rosé.
