FARMERS CHEESE AND RAISIN FILO STRUDEL RECIPE



FARMERS CHEESE AND RAISIN FILO STRUDEL Recipe image

Fool proof Thai Red Curry Chicken. Served with steamed rice.

Number Of Ingredients 1

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted 20 ounces farmer\'s cheese 2 1/3 cups fresh bread crumbs 1 cup milk 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, at cool room temperature 3/4 cup granulated sugar Grated zest of 1 lemon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 6 large eggs, separated, at room temperature 1 cup sour cream 1 cup golden raisins 12 12-by-17-inch sheets of fresh or thawed frozen filo Confectioners\' sugar, for garnish Vanilla Sauce, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350°F. Lightly brush a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish with a little of the melted butter. 2. Using a rubber spatula, work the cheese through a medium-meshed wire sieve into a medium bowl. Stir the bread crumbs and milk in another medium bowl. 3. Beat the room-temperature butter in a large bowl with a handheld mixer on high speed until creamy. Add the sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla and beat until light in color and texture, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time. Mix in the farmer\'s cheese, soaked bread crumbs, and sour cream. 4. In another medium bowl, using very clean beaters, beat the egg whites at high speed until they form stiff peaks. Stir about one fourth of the whites into the cheese mixture, then fold in the remaining whites. Fold in the raisins. 5. Place a filo sheet in the prepared pan, letting excess dough hang over the sides. Using a soft brush, lightly brush the filo as best as you can with melted butter. Layer 5 more filo sheets, buttering each layer. Pour in the cheese mixture and spread evenly. Layer with 6 more filo sheets, buttering each layer and the top. Tuck the excess filo into the baking pan. 6. Bake until the top is golden brown, about 1 hour. Cool for 30 minutes. Dust the top of the strudel with confectioners\' sugar. Serve warm or cooled, with the vanilla sauce, if you wish. MAKE AHEAD The strudel is best the day it is baked. Extra! Tips from Epicurious: • Topfen is a white, Austrian fresh curd cheese. Farmer\'s cheese makes a good substitute - while its taste is not very distinctive, it has the perfect texture. Do not substitute ricotta or cottage cheese, as they will add too much liquid. • Since the strudel is best soon after it comes out of the oven, you might want to time your meal so that it bakes while you\'re eating. Let it sit for about half an hour after baking and it will be the perfect temperature for serving.

MARTIN'S RHUBARB STRUDEL



Martin's Rhubarb Strudel image

Although I have always loved strudel, apple strudel was the only kind I ate for many years. But when my Czech husband made his rendition of rhubarb strudel, it became my new favorite. This is a very quick recipe to make, and everyone who's tried it loves it. -Cyndee Sindelar, Princeton, NJ
