Baklava
10 ingredients
openrecipes
Both Greece and Turkey claim this heavenly nut-filled pastry, but it is a favorite sweet throughout the eastern and southern Mediterranean. Spiced ground pistachios and walnuts fill the crisp phyllo layers, which are baked and then saturated with a hot honey syrup. This spectacular dessert tastes best when freshly made.
