I really wanted to eat strudel. It was a such a long time ago that I ate it.
So I went to the web to look for a good cheese strudel recipe. I ended up here http://catalinakolker.blogspot.com/2009/09/cheese-strudel.html.
It`s so easy to make it and it`s so delicious….just like my mum`s cheese strudel.
I used only 6 phyllo sheets because I made it in a very big baking pan. So my strudel looked like a pizza but I didn`t mind as I love the cheesy filling! I will definitely make this delicious sweet again!!
Go ahead and try it. This recipe won`t let you down.
Ingredients:
6 phyllo pastry sheets
4 TBSPOONS butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or 1 teaspoon vanilla +1 teaspoon almond extract) NEXT TIME I WILL USE SOME RAISINS TOO
pinch of salt
1 egg beaten
4 TABLESPOONS or taste it!! I put 6 TABLESPOONS sugar (I guess it depends on the sweetness of the cheese)
15 oz (426g ) ricotta cheese (I used a bit more)
1/2 teaspoon orange or lemon zest
1 toothpick to poke holes to let the pastry vent when it`s in the oven
I don`t copy the recipe from Catalina`s blog as I did everything as she did and I was very happy with it.
The only thing what I changed is that I used double sheets ( buttered) for each phyllo layer because my sheets were very thin.
hey, i'm glad you like it and i hope you will try other recipes of mine in the future.
