Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup of the honey, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix well.
~5 min - 3
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Keep it warm.
~3 min - 4
Unroll the phyllo dough. Keep it covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out.
~2 min - 5
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on your work surface. Brush it generously with melted butter.
~1 min - 6
Layer another sheet of phyllo dough on top and brush with butter. Repeat this process until you have 4-5 layers of phyllo stacked together.
~5 min - 7
Spread half of the walnut mixture evenly over the layered phyllo dough, leaving a small border.
~2 min - 8
Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll up the phyllo dough into a tight log.
~3 min - 9
Cut the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
~2 min - 10
Repeat steps 5-9 with the remaining phyllo dough and walnut mixture.
~15 min - 11
Brush the tops of the pinwheels with any remaining melted butter.
~1 min - 12
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
~25 min - 13
While the swirls are baking, prepare the yogurt topping. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, remaining 1/4 cup of honey, orange blossom water, and powdered sugar until smooth.
~5 min - 14
Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of honey over the warm phyllo swirls immediately after they come out of the oven.
~1 min - 15
Serve the warm honey-kissed phyllo swirls with a dollop of orange blossom yogurt.
Tips
- When working with phyllo dough, keep the sheets you aren't actively using covered with a slightly damp kitchen towel to prevent them from becoming brittle.
- These swirls are best enjoyed fresh and warm, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a low oven to restore crispness.
