🛒 Ingredients

✓ 6 sheets phyllo pastry (thawed)
✓ 60ml clarified ghee (melted)
✓ 2 tbsp cooking spray oil
✓ 1/4 cup shelled pistachios (crushed)
✓ 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
✓ 1 tsp ground cardamom
✓ 2 tbsp honey (for drizzle)
✓ 1.5 salted egg yolks
✓ 1 tbsp salted egg yolk powder
✓ 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
✓ 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (0%)
✓ 2 tbsp honey
✓ 1 tsp vanilla extract
✓ Pinch of sea salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling: Whisk salted egg yolks and powder together until pale yellow. Fold in mascarpone, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

2. Toast the Nuts: In a dry pan over medium heat, lightly toast pistachios and sesame seeds for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly. Mix in cardamom. Transfer to a bowl and cool.

3. Layer Your Base: Cut phyllo sheets into 4×4-inch squares. Lay one sheet on a parchment-lined baking tray. Brush very lightly with ghee (use just 1 tsp per layer), then spray once with cooking oil.

4. Build Baklava Layers: Layer 3 phyllo squares on top of the first, brushing ghee and spraying oil between each. Top with 1 tbsp of the salted egg filling and 1 tsp of nut-seed mix.

5. Seal the Bundle: Fold phyllo corners over the filling like an envelope to create a small packet. Repeat for a second baklava. Brush the outside lightly with remaining ghee and spray.

6. Bake Until Golden: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes until phyllo is deep golden and crispy. Interior should sound hollow when tapped.

7. Honey Finish (Optional): While still warm, drizzle with 1 tbsp honey. Let cool for 2–3 minutes so pastry sets; serve warm or at room temperature.

8. Plate & Serve: Serve one baklava per person with a small cup of strong coffee or jasmine tea to balance richness.
