Baklava is a sweet and rich dessert made with layers of phyllo pastry, nuts, and honey syrup. The phyllo pastry is layered with a mixture of ground nuts, such as walnuts or pistachios, and then baked until golden and crispy. Once baked, the baklava is drizzled with a sweet honey syrup, which adds a deliciously sticky and sweet flavor. Baklava is a popular dessert in many Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines.
