    ~5 min
  3. 3

    Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Keep it warm.

    ~3 min

    Unroll the phyllo dough. Keep it covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out.

    ~2 min

    Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on your work surface. Brush it generously with melted butter.

    ~1 min

    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

    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

    Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of honey over the warm phyllo swirls immediately after they come out of the oven.

    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.
