How to Make Sausage And Cheese Breakfast Strudels

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan. Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly (about 1 minute).
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 1 minute).
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese and 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
  6. Stir until cheeses are melted and smooth. Set aside.
  7. In a medium skillet, brown 1 pound breakfast sausage. Drain off excess grease.
  8. Stir in 4 large eggs and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until eggs are just set.
  9. Stir in the cheese sauce and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley. Cool completely.
  10. Unroll one package (14.1 oz) phyllo dough. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth to prevent drying.
  11. Brush one sheet of phyllo with 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon bread crumbs.
  12. Fold in half lengthwise. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  13. Place 1/2 cup of the sausage filling on the bottom of the short side of the phyllo, leaving a 1-inch border on the bottom and sides.
  14. Roll up tightly. Place seam-side down on an ungreased baking sheet.
  15. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and a pinch of Parmesan cheese for the topping.
  16. Brush each strudel with melted butter and sprinkle with the breadcrumb topping.
  17. Repeat steps 10-16 until all five strudels are made.
  18. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
