Pork filet en croÛte Season the pork filets from both sides. Create 2 piles of 3 filo pastry sheets on top of each other and roll them out to two big rectangles of about 20x30cm on a counter, using a bit flour underneath. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan-assisted oven to 180°C). SWITZERLAND Clean the mushrooms, dry them and cut them into small cubes. Peel the garlic and the onion, chop them to small pieces to be braised in a pan with butter until glassy. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and braise for another 5 minutes. Drain off the reduntant fluid of the mushrooms. Spread the mushroom mixture on the pastry sheets and spare a 5cm wide streak lengthways to place one filet along that streak in each case, and furl the pastry sheets. Moisten the rims with some water and squeeze them together. Place the dough rolls (with the seam upside down) on a baking sheet rinsed with cold water. Mix the egg yolks and whipped cream and coat the dough rolls with it. Bake the rolls for about 40 minutes in the preheated oven at medium level. Serve the filet rolls cut in half or cut in slices (either warm or cold) along some steamed vegetables or some fresh green salad. 2 pork filets (Á 400g) 450G (6 SHEETS) frozen filo pastry 500 g mushrooms 1 onion 1 garlic clove 1 Tbsp butter 2 egg yolks 2 tbsp whipped cream Flour Salt pepper
