Here's a Baklava inspired sweet treat! Or savoury if you'd like.....
All you'll need is Frozen Fillo Pastry, Melted Butter and whatever toppings your mind can dream up of. This one's drenched in a light honey lemon drizzle and topped with freshly baked chopped almonds. You could use pistachios or cashews or whatever comes to mind. I've done this topped with a dollop of tart bottled Lemon Curd and dusted with icing sugar, and my Mum had hers with....get this.... canned tomato sardines!
