  • Once cooled, carefully pour oil into small bowl. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375˚F.
  • Remove defrosted phyllo from refrigerator, cut in half. You can refreeze second half for use later.
  • Gently unroll phyllo sheets. Generously oil the half sheet pan with the leftover cooking oil. Lay one layer of phyllo onto oiled pan. Brush lightly with leftover cooking oil. Top with another sheet of phyllo. Repeat until all sheets are stacked.
  • .Add your onions and mushrooms. Top with crumbled goat cheese.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • Let cool. Top with fresh parsley. Serve at room temperature as an appetizer or add a side salad for a complete meal.‍
