BROCCOLI-CHEESE STRUDEL 
1/4 c. butter
1/2 pkg. filo dough, thawed and kept wrapped

FILLING:

6 c. raw chopped broccoli
3 tbsp. butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 c. chopped onion
2 c. bread crumbs
2 c. grated Cheddar cheese
2-3 tbsp. lemon juice
Salt and pepper

Saute onion in 3 tablespoons butter until just soft. Add broccoli and saute until broccoli is tender but still bright green, approximately 5 minutes. Cool. Add other filling ingredients and season to taste.

To assemble strudel: Brush first layer of filo with butter. Add 3 more layers, brushing after each. Put half of the broccoli mixture along one short side, leaving approximately 1 1/2 inches free at sides. Fold ends in and then gently roll strudel carefully (use spatula or a cookie sheet with no lip). Place strudel on buttered baking tray (with a lip). Repeat with second roll. Brush with butter and make diagonal slits on top of rolls. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes until golden.
