How To Make vegetable cheese strudel

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork or wire whisk.
  • Step 2
    Heat the oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppers, mushrooms, eggplant, onion, garlic powder and basil and cook until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is evaporated. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Step 3
    Unfold the pastry on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 16x12 rectangle. With the short side facing you, spoon the vegetable mixture onto the bottom half of the pastry to within 1 inch of the edge. Top with the cheese. Starting with the short side, roll up like a jelly roll. Tuck the ends under to seal. Place seam side down onto a baking sheet. Brush with the egg mixture.
  • Step 4
    Bake for 25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Remove the pastry from the baking sheet and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
