Crab Stuffed Mushrooms En Croute

We've all had stuffed mushrooms, but maybe never like these.

Crab Stuffed Mushrooms En Croute
Makes 20 bundles.

1/2 cup herb flavored cheese (like Boursin)
1/2 cup finely minced crabmeat
20 uniformly sized mushrooms, stems removed
1 box phyllo dough, thawed
1/3 cup butter, melted
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine cheese and crab in a small bowl. Stuff each mushroom cap with crab-cheese mixture.

Brush one phyllo sheet with melted butter, cover with another sheet, and brush with more melted butter. Cut stacked phyllo sheets into four squares. Place a mushroom, cheese side up, in the center of each square. Season with salt and pepper. Lift sides of pastry over mushrooms to resemble small bundles and form a "purse," pinching edges to seal.

Repeat five more times to make a total of 20 bundles.

Place on a greased baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Bake for about 15 minutes until pastry is crisp and golden. Serve hot.
