Crab Stuffed Mushrooms En Croute

• 1/2  cup  Borsin Cheese
• 1/2  cup  finely minced crabmeat (may use imitation)
• 18 uniform sized mushrooms, stem removed
• 1 box of phyllo pastry (will need at least 18 sheets)
• 1/3  cup  butter, melted
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine crab and cheese and divide among the upside-down mushroom caps. Brush 8 phyllo sheets individually with melted butter. Cover with remaining sheets. Brush with melted butter again. Cut phyllo sheets into 6 squares. Place a mushroom, cheese side up in the center of each square. Season with salt and pepper. Lift sides of pastry over mushrooms to resemble small bundles and form a "neck" pinching edges together to seal. Place on a greased baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Bake for about 15 minutes until pastry is crisp and golden. Serve hot.
