Ingredients

• 1 package of phyllo dough (thawed)
• 1 cup finely chopped nuts (walnuts, pistachios, or a mix)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• 1/2 cup melted butter or neutral oil for brushing
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional garnish: additional nuts or powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Nut Filling:
   • In a bowl, mix the chopped nuts, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Phyllo Dough:
   • Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and lightly brush it with melted butter or oil. Place another sheet on top and repeat until you have layered 2-3 sheets.
3. Add the Filling:
   • Sprinkle a thin layer of the nut mixture evenly over the phyllo dough.
4. Roll and Slice:
   • Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into smaller pieces, approximately 2-3 inches each.
5. Bake:
   • Place the rolls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Prepare the Honey Syrup:
   • While the rolls bake, combine honey, water, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan. Heat gently until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
7. Glaze the Rolls:
   • Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the warm honey syrup generously over them. Let them soak for a few minutes.
8. Serve:
   • Garnish with additional chopped nuts or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
