Ingredients
| Dried figs | 1 Cup (16 tbs), diced | |
| Raisins | 1/2 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| 1/2 cup apricot or peach nectar | ||
| 1/3 cup honey Butter-flavored vegetable cooking spray | ||
| Sweet onion | 2 Cup (16 tbs), coarsely chopped | |
| Balsamic vinegar | 2 Tablespoon | |
| Blue cheese | 4 Ounce, crumbled | |
| 8 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed | ||
| Powdered sugar | 2 Teaspoon | |
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine first 4 ingredients in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil, and cook 5 minutes.
Remove from heat; cover and let stand 30 minutes.
Coat a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot.
Add onion and vinegar; cook 20 minutes or until deep golden, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat; stir in fig mixture and cheese.
Set aside.
Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface (cover remaining dough to keep from drying); lightly coat with cooking spray.
Working with 1 phyllo sheet at a time, coat remaining 7 phyllo sheets with cooking spray, placing one on top of the other.
Place a sheet of plastic wrap over phyllo, pressing gently to seal sheets together; discard plastic wrap.
Spoon onion mixture along 1 long edge of phyllo, leaving a 2-inch border.
Fold over the short edges of phyllo to cover 2 inches of onion mixture on each end.
Starting at long edge with 2-inch border, roll up jelly-roll fashion.
(Do not roll tightly, or strudel may split.) Place strudel, seam side down, on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray.
Score diagonal slits into top of strudel using a sharp knife.
Lightly coat strudel with cooking spray.
Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until golden.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
