Baklava Tart Ingredients

Method

Baklava Tart Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Phyllo

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Thaw the phyllo dough if frozen and lay it flat. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

  2. 2

    Layer the Phyllo

    Brush a tart pan with melted butter. Layer 5 sheets of phyllo dough in the pan, brushing each layer with butter. Repeat until you have 10 layers.

  3. 3

    Mix Filling

    In a bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Add Filling

    Spread the pistachio mixture evenly over the layered phyllo in the tart pan.

  5. 5

    Top with Phyllo

    Continue layering phyllo on top of the filling, brushing each layer with butter, until you have another 10 layers.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown.

  7. 7

    Prepare Syrup

    While the tart is baking, prepare the syrup by combining honey, water, and granulated sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 10 minutes. Add vanilla extract and remove from heat.

  8. 8

    Drizzle Syrup

    Once the tart is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately drizzle the syrup over the hot tart. Let it cool completely.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Once cooled, slice the baklava tart into pieces and serve. Enjoy!
