12 slices
- Serves:
- 11
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup onion, minced
- 1 large head broccoli, finely chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups breadcrumbs, homemade
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 10 sheets phyllo pastry
- 3 -4 tablespoons olive oil (for basting the phyllo)
directions
- Preheat oven to 375 F, and oil a baking sheet.
- Melt butter or olive oil in a large pan. add onion and saute for about 5 minutes over medium heat.
- Add broccoli, salt and pepper, and cook for about 5 more minutes.
- Add garlic, and saute until broccoli is tender, about 5 more minutes, then remove from heat.
- Stir in bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, and lemon juice.
- To assemble: Place one sheet of phyllo on a clean, dry countertop. Brush the top lightly with olive oil, then add a second sheet. continue this process until there is a pile of five sheets. Add half the filling in the shape of a log to the short end of the phyllo pastry. fold in the sides (about 1/2 inch), then gently roll up so you have a neat little log (this process is easier than it sounds, think of it as a pastry burrito).
- Repeat the procedure to make a second roll.
- Carefully lift the pastries onto the baking sheet 4 inches apart.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cut slices with a serated edge knife in a gentle sawing motion.

I turned vegetarian when I was 16 years old, and I'm still one 11 years later. I was vegan for about three years, but went back to eating dairy and eggs about 3 years ago. I still have some killer vegan recipes, I'm slow at posting, but eventually I'll have a good library up. For me, being vegetarian is about feeling good and eating for the environment, not being deprived of meat! Hopefully non-veg-heads will like some of the recipes I've posted, I know my boyfriend likes everything I've posted and he's a big meat eater as well :)
ps. I'm at high altitude, so the baking recipes may need to be modded a bit.
