List of Ingredients




1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 medium onion(s), chopped
1 cup mushroom(s), any kind, chopped
1/3 cup arugula
4 sheet phyllo dough, 12 x 17-inch sheets, thawed to room temperature
2 oz soft-type goat cheese, or brie, divided




Recipe



Preheat oven to 350°F; spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Sauté onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the arugula and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Place the sheets of phyllo on a work surface and cover them with a damp towel. Stack 2 sheets and spray with butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray. Stack the remaining 2 sheets directly on top and spray them. Cut the phyllo into two 12 x 8 1/2 inch rectangles. Place goat cheese in the center of each phyllo; top with mushrooms. Pull up corners of phyllo and twist, forming packets that look like drawstring pouches; place on the baking sheet and spray the tops lightly with butter-flavored spray. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
