6 tbsp. unsalted butter, divided

3/4 cup packed grated dry Monterey Jack cheese

Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt 2 tbsp. butter in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 7 minutes or until brown. Add pear and sauté for 3 minutes or until brown. Transfer mixture to a separate bowl. Cool slightly. Stir in cheese, mustard and salt.

Brush phyllo with melted butter. Top with another sheet. Brush with melted butter. Arrange half of pear mixture in a log along one short end of phyllo. Leave a 1-inch border at each end of the mixture. Fold in sides and roll up tightly into a log. Brush all over with butter. Transfer to a large baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo, butter and pear mixture.

Bake strudels for 18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes. Transfer 1 strudel to cutting board. Cut on diagonal into 12 pieces. Repeat with remaining strudel. Transfer to platter and serve.
