So here it is! Finally! The long anticipated baklava blog. Hmmm....baklava...how I love thee...I was actually inspired to try making this as I was watching the oh so wonderful and amazing travel channel! Some British chef was making Egyptian style bakalava while actually in Egypt. I thought that was pretty cool. Anyway, so when my brother called the next day inviting Lili and me over for dinner and assigning us dessert, I knew exactly what to make! It's actually quite easy. It takes a bit of preparation time, but fun to make and extremely worth it after it's all done. It ended up being a bit soggier than normal baklava is supposed to be, but next time... next time it will be much better! Watch out Iron Chef Bobby Flay! Here comes your next challenger! (totally kidding!) The recipe I followed was actually a video recipe so here's the link if anyone's interested:

I love the title of your blog Jeff! The best! That was the BEST stuff. I didn't mind that is was a little bit drenched in the syrup. It was REALLY good that way as well. I could go either way! I look forward to more desserts that you will make!
Looks simply delicious. Or Complicatedly delicious. Whatever you call it, I want some right now. I actually have never made this treat. I'll have to put it on my list.
oh my goodness, i LOVE baklava! there used to be this Iranian man in our ward in michigan who would bring our family baklava at least once a month. mmmm...
I am so bummed I didn't get to try any. Next time we will have to stop by for baklava fun. Great blog, Jeff!
Ooooh, I love Baklava. Any kind of pastry for me! Also, I think it's funny that you call Elise Lili. I don't know why, but it is. I guess my husband's family thinks it's funny that I call him Jake and not Jacob like all of them. Do you call her that all the time??
