Franconian Onion And Cheese Strudel
This Franconian Onion and Cheese Strudel is a delicious savory pastry that combines the flavors of caramelized onions and creamy cheese, all wrapped in a flaky, golden crust. It's a perfect dish for a cozy dinner or a special gathering with friends and family.
Ingredients
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded Emmental cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry, thawed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a bowl, mix the shredded Emmental and Gruyère cheeses with the chopped parsley.
- Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the pastry, leaving a border around the edges. Sprinkle the cheese and parsley mixture over the onions.
- Roll up the pastry, starting from one long side, to encase the filling. Pinch the ends to seal and place the strudel seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Let the strudel cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
