Breaklava

Breaklava

My husband named this recipe Breaklava because I use phyllo dough, butter, and breakfast ingredients and layer it in a similar way you do for baklava. So it's breakfast baklava! You can use any combination of cheese to make it unique.

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute spinach until liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes; be careful not to scorch. Blend in sour cream. Season with salt and pepper.

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

    Unroll phyllo dough and cover with a damp cloth. Place 2 sheets in a 9x13-inch baking pan. Brush top layer with butter using a basting brush. Repeat process 2 more times for a total of 6 sheets of layered phyllo dough.
  5. Step 5

    Spread the spinach mixture over the dough. Top with 6 more sheets of dough, brushing every second layer with butter.

    Spread 1/2 the sausage evenly over the dough. Add 1/2 the egg and cheese mixture. Repeat layering and buttering 4 more sheets of dough. Top with remaining sausage and remaining egg and cheese mixture. Add the remaining dough; do not butter the very top layer.

    Cut breaklava into even squares using a sharp knife. Butter the top layer and sprinkle with parsley.
