  • 1 cup of almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups of walnuts, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup of ground sesame seeds
  • 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of cloves

Instructions

Mix the walnuts, almonds, sesame seeds, honey and cinnamon cloves to create the filling. Then melt the butter, grease a baking tray and line 4 buttered sheets of phyllo dough. Spread a little filling and top with 2 more buttered sheets. Repeat once more and line with 4 more buttered sheets.
