I took these to a party with my husband's family for Greek Easter. My husband LOVED them. However I did make some adjustments to make them a little more authentic. I added the zest and juice of one small lemon to the filling. I also added a topping like you do in traditional baklava, with honey, lemon, sugar and water. Once the little bites were cooked and cooled, I would dip them in the hot topping. It added a little burst of honey flavor when you bit into them. It also added some moisture to the phyllo dough. I can't wait to make them again, especially since it is so much easier then making traditional baklava.

I too used the premade phyllo cups to speed up the process. I followed the recipe to a T, but I found the flavor of the clove to be a bit strong and I also thought the filling was a bit dry, will try again, maybe using different nuts and other dried fruits and add more butter and honey next time.

Just tried this the other day, and it's a wonderful recipe for parties! It was my first time using phyllo dough, and like others, I tore it a bit, but it doesn't matter because the layers cover up the mistakes. I thought maybe it wasn't sweet enough, like regular baklava, but my friends went back for seconds and thirds! They liked that it wasn't TOO sweet. And they loved the bite-size morsels. Thanks, Giada, for the tip about the bread crumbs! And those of you looking at this recipe, don't be afraid to try it.

Super flaky and delicious! Such a great little bit-size morsel. Crisp on the outside with a sweet chewy little bit in the middle. Just the right amount of sweet. I could have eaten the whole platter!

This was my second time making this recipe so i decided to use extra butter this time i use 1/2 stick more that what it calls for. I added 4 tbs instead of 2tbs for the filling and the rest for the brushing. I couldn't be happier. I am married to arab so i am always looking for new recipes. This was one will be a regular from now on.
