What’s in mini baklava cups?

• mini phyllo dough cups (found in the freezer section)
• pistachios
• pecans
• almonds
• lemon zest
• sugar
• cinnamon
• melted butter
• salt
• vanilla
• honey + hot tap water

how to make mini baklava cups:

Preheat the oven to 350°. Place the phyllo cups on a parchment paper lined baking sheet then set aside.

Chop the nuts to a ‘rustic chop’ then add them to a medium size bowl. NOTE: A food processor can be used instead. Pulse several times without completely grinding so the nuts still have some bite to them.

Add the lemon zest, sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, a small pinch of salt and the vanilla to the nuts then stir well to combine.

 

Fill the phyllo cups with about 1 tablespoon of the nut mixture per cup dividing it equally then bake for 8-10 minutes or until the nuts are lightly toasted.

Remove the Mini Baklava Cups from the oven then drizzle the reserved honey over the top of the cups. Cool and store in an airtight container.
