Recipe : Crab, Pear and Cheese Strudel

Makes 4 servings

2 small pears, pared, cored and chopped
8 ounces cooked crabmeat, flaked
3 ounces skim-milk mozzarella cheese, coarsely grated
2 ounces cooked lean Virginia ham, finely chopped
3/4 cup drained canned water chestnuts, finely minced
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 ounces fresh or thawed frozen phyllo dough (about 6 sheets)*
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon canola oil
1 teaspoon plain dried bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 375o F. Spray 15 x 10" jelly-roll pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In large bowl, combine pears, crabmeat, cheese, ham, water chestnuts, scallions,
juice and red pepper flakes.
Place 1 phyllo sheet onto 16" sheet of wax paper; brush evenly with 1/2 teaspoon
of the oil. Top with another phyllo sheet; brush evenly with 1/2 teaspoon of the
oil. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each with 1/2 teaspoon oil.
Sprinkle top sheet evenly with bread crumbs.
Spoon pear mixture lengthwise along one side of phyllo stack, about 1" from edge
of stack; fold the 1" of stack over pear mixture. Fold short edges of stack over
pear mixture; roll jelly-roll fashion, using wax paper to help lift dough. Transfer
roll to prepared pan; brush evenly with remaining 1 teaspoon oil. With sharp
knife, lightly score top of roll. Bake 25-30 minutes, until lightly browned and
heated through. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes. Cut into 4 equal
portions.
