Jamie,

Are you familiar with www.google.com ? I just went there,
clicked on "groups" and then "advanced search". I then inserted
"Cream cheese strudel " in the "exact phrase" block and then
inserted "rec.food.cooking" in the "newsgroup" block. Ginny's
recipe came right up. Here's a copy of it for you.

Cherry Goat Cheese Strudel

5 oz goat cheese (chevre), at room temp.
2 pkgs. cream cheese (3 oz each), room temp.
1/3 cup plus 14 tbsp sugar
2 large egg yolks
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
12 sheets phyllo pastry
1/4 lb. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 can (16 oz) tart pie cherries, well drained

Prehat oven to 375°. Line 2 baking sheets w/foil.

Beat goat cheese, cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, yolks and cinnamon
in
medium size bowl w/elecric mixer on low speed or in food
processor
fitted with metal blade, until blended. Refrigerate until
chilled.

Stack 6 phyllo leaves, long side facing you, on damp towel,
brushing
each sheet w/melted butter and sprinklin each wth 1 tbsp sugar.
Spread
half of the cheese filling along one long end, leaving 2 inch
border.
Sprinkle half the cherries over the cheese. Fold narrow ends of
phyllo

fashion. Place strudel seam side down on baking sheet. Brush top

melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sugar. Repeat to make 2nd
strudel.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. The filling may leak

slightly. Cool for at least 1 hour to allow the cheese to set up
before cutting. Serve lukewarm or at room temp.

Makes 2 strudels, about 8 pieces each.
