Recipe - Mushroom and Brie Strudel

I love mushrooms, they are one of my favourite ingredients and I love brie cheese so putting them together in a recipe is just deliciousness on a plate for me! I have always been a huge fan of brie cheese, it was a very long nine months both pregnancies with no brie! When I first tasted the Maleny Cheese's brie I fell in love..
They have really created a stunning cheese here, it is creamy and full of texture and flavour.
This is a really easy recipe that will impress dinner guests or is perfect for a picnic or a quick, tasty and special family meal,.
