Mushroom Phyllo Appetizers
Makes 40
2 medium onions, finely chopped
4 oz. butter
1½ lb. fresh mushrooms, chopped
6 Tbsp. flour
6 Tbsp. dry sherry
salt and pepper, to taste
16 phyllo sheets
½ lb. butter, melted
Sauté onions in the 4 oz. of butter over medium heat until tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, flour, sherry, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until mixture is thickened, about 3 minutes; cool slightly.
Cut phyllo leaves lengthwise into 5 strips; brush with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top; butter. Place a cylinder of filling (about 1 Tbsp.) diagonally on each strip. Fold in each corner and roll until closed. Brush with melted butter.
Bake 400º for about 15 minutes, or until brown.
If made in advance to freeze, do so before baking.
