📝 Ingredients for Baklava:

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. 🍯 Prepare the Syrup:

   • Combine all the ingredients for the syrup in a saucepan.
   • Bring it to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
   • Strain the mixture and allow it to cool. The syrup is the sweet soul of our Baklava.

2. 🥚 Create the Nut Mixture:

   • In a bowl, mix the egg, sugar, cinnamon, and allspice until well combined.
   • Coarsely grind or chop the walnuts and almonds.
   • Thoroughly mix the nuts with bread crumbs and the egg-sugar-cinnamon-allspice mixture.

3. 🍽️ Layering the Filo Sheets:

   • Brush a 9″x13″x2″ pan with butter.
   • Lay a sheet of filo in the bottom, brush with butter.
   • Repeat the process, layering filo sheets until you have used a dozen, ensuring each layer is brushed with that glorious butter.

4. 🌰 Nuts, Nuts, Nuts:

   • Spread a thin layer of the nut mixture on top of the filo.
   • Cover with a filo sheet, brush with butter, and repeat the process until all the nut mixture is used.
   • Top it off with the remaining filo sheets, brushing each one with that golden butter.

5. 🔪 Cut and Clove:

   • With a very sharp knife, cut the top filo sheets into triangles (diagonally across the pan).
   • Insert a clove in the center of each triangle, adding a touch of spice and elegance.

6. 🎂 Bake to Perfection:

   • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
   • Bake the Baklava for 1 hour until it boasts a perfect, even browning that promises a symphony of flavors.

7. 🍯 The Sweet Finale:

   • Remove the Baklava from the oven.
   • Pour the cooled syrup evenly over it, allowing it to penetrate the layers and infuse every bite with sweetness.

8. ❄️ Chill and Serve:

   • Cool the Baklava for several hours before serving.
   • This waiting period allows the flavors to meld, resulting in a heavenly treat that’s worth every moment of anticipation.
