1 teaspoon

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Melt 1/2 cup butter in large sauté pan. Add mushrooms, shallots, garlic, rosemary and thyme; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until mushrooms render their liquid; reserve.
  • In another large sauté pan, sauté spinach until wilted. Combine spinach with mushrooms and duck. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cover phyllo dough with moist cloth to prevent drying. Remove one layer and place on work surface. Brush with clarified butter; sprinkle with about 1/2 cup Fontina Cheese. Repeat layers twice; end with layer of phyllo dough.
  • Drain any liquid from mushroom and duck mixture; stir in 1 1/2 cups Fontina cheese. Place the filling along long edge of dough. Roll into uniform roll and fold ends under. Roll should resemble a large eggroll. Place on large baking sheet.
  • Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and slice into 4 sections. Serve with a simple green salad dressed and your favorite dressing.
