I had a few sheets of phyllo dough left over which was perfect because I had been wanting to try making this recipe for mushroom and goat cheese strudel with balsamic syrup. With mushrooms, goat cheese and balsamic vinegar being some of my favorite things how could I not try this? The mushroom strudel was surprisingly easy to make especially considering how good the results were. The mushroom and goat cheese strudel was amazing! Of course I could not wait for it to cool so I got to enjoy the warm and tasty mushrooms mixed with the tangy just melting goats cheese all wrapped up in a light and flaky and yet crispy crust. The strudel was amazing all by itself but when you dipped it in the sweet and tangy balsamic syrup it really sent it over the top. I am looking forward to making this again.
