Ingredients

1/2 cup herb flavored cheese (recommended: Boursin)
1/2 cup finely minced crabmeat (may use imitation)
18 uniform sized mushrooms, stem removed
1 box phyllo pastry (will need at least 18 sheets)
1/3 cup butter, melted
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 egg, beaten

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine cheese and crab in a small bowl. Divide crab mixture among the upside-down mushroom caps, stuffing the mushrooms. Carefully lay 6 sheets of phyllo dough on top of one another, brushing every other sheet with melted butter. Cut phyllo lengthwise down the center and then cut each half into 3 pieces to make 6 rectangles. Place a mushroom, cheese side up, in the center of each square. Season with salt and pepper. Lift sides of pastry over mushrooms to resemble small bundles and form a "neck," pinching edges together to seal. Repeat the entire procedure 2 more times.

Place on a greased baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Bake for about 15 minutes until pastry is crisp and golden. Serve hot.

soggy and bland
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This was my first time to use phyllo dough and I could not believe how long it took to assemble these mushroom wraps. I could... not find Boursin cheese so I used ricotta and added some extra herbs and spices as well as extra crab meat. The mushrooms needed to cook longer but the phyllo dough would not have made it through. The mushrooms let out a lot water, soaking the phyllo dough and making it very soggy. Despite my efforts in jazzing up the stuffing, it was still very bland to taste. Overall, I was not impressed with this dish and will not even attempt to make it again. Read more
