Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly brush 6 sheets of phyllo dough with 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter, stacking them on top of each other. Cut the stacked phyllo into 6 equal squares.
  2. Step 2: Press each phyllo square gently into a muffin tin cup to form a cup shape. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove and let cool.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, mix 1 cup finely chopped walnuts with 1 tsp ground cinnamon and 1/4 tsp ground cloves until evenly combined.
  4. Step 4: Spoon about 2 tbsp of the spiced walnut mixture into each phyllo cup. Top each filled cup with a generous 2 tbsp dollop of creamy 1 cup Greek yogurt.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle 1/3 cup honey evenly over all cups and sprinkle 1 tsp lemon zest on top for brightness.
  6. Step 6: Optionally dust with powdered sugar before serving this elegant, layered dessert inspired by traditional Greek baklava flavors.
