Savory Leek and Mushroom Pastry Roll.
What would I do without puff pastry? A good quality puff pastry makes life simple and easy especially when you want to make a delicious savory or sweet filled delicacy to serve your family and friends! My Savory Leek and Mushroom Pastry Roll is just that savory delicacy; a delicious medley of savory organic leeks and nutritious mushrooms bathed in two kinds of Italian cheese, wrapped in a buttery, flaky pastry and baked to a golden brown! I used delicate oyster mushrooms seasoned with thyme, marjoram and savory but any good wild or cultivated mushroom will blend well with the leeks. You can serve my Savory Leek and Mushroom Pastry Roll in many ways, such as a vegetarian entrée with a green salad, or a showpiece filled bread for your holiday table! Whatever you choose, you are sure to enjoy this savory, nutritious pastry roll!
