About

Don’t think that strudel always means apples. Made with Swiss chard, nutty-flavored Jarlsberg, and fresh Parmesan cheese, all rolled up in phyllo pastry and baked until golden, this strudel is just right alongside Savory Short Ribs, Garden Vegetable Soup, or Eggplant Wrapped Moussaka.

Side dish
Vegetarian
