Ingredients

• 6 sheets of phyllo dough – I find that slightly thawed sheets are easier to work with.

3. Cut the layered phyllo into 6 equal squares and gently press each into a muffin tin cup, creating a cup shape.
4. Bake the phyllo cups for 5 minutes until they start to lightly golden. Tip: This pre-baking helps prevent sogginess from the eggs.
5. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and carefully crack an egg into each phyllo cup.
6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper over each egg.

• 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting (because presentation matters)

3. Place one sheet of phyllo on the prepared baking sheet, brush lightly with melted butter, and repeat the process, layering 5 more sheets, buttering each one.
4. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the top phyllo layer, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

6. Fold the edges of the phyllo dough over the filling to create a rustic border. Brush the edges with more melted butter.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden and crisp. Keep an eye on it after 15 minutes to prevent over-browning.

• 1 sheet phyllo dough, thawed (handle with care, it’s delicate!)
• 1/4 cup granola (homemade or store-bought, choose your favorite)
• 1 tsp olive oil (extra virgin is my go-to for its fruity aroma)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the phyllo dough gets perfectly crispy.
2. Brush the phyllo dough sheet lightly with olive oil. Lay it on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Keep an eye on it; phyllo can go from golden to burnt quickly.
3. While the phyllo bakes, blend the frozen berries, banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and honey in a blender until smooth. Tip: If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more almond milk.
4. Once the phyllo is baked, let it cool for a minute, then crumble it into large pieces. Tip: For extra crunch, you can bake the phyllo a minute longer, but watch closely to prevent burning.
5. Pour the smoothie into a bowl, top with the crumbled phyllo, and sprinkle granola over the top. Tip: For a beautiful presentation, layer the toppings in sections.

With its creamy texture, sweet and tangy flavors, and satisfying crunch, this bowl is a morning game-changer. Serve it with a drizzle of extra honey or a sprinkle of chia seeds for an added nutritional boost.

Phyllo Dough Breakfast Lasagna with Ricotta and Spinach

This morning calls for something special, and what better way to answer than with a dish that layers flavors as beautifully as it does textures. Phyllo Dough Breakfast Lasagna with Ricotta and Spinach is a delightful twist on the classic, offering a crispy, creamy, and savory experience that’s perfect for starting the day.

Ingredients

• 1 package phyllo dough, thawed overnight in the fridge (trust me, patience here prevents tearing)
• 2 cups ricotta cheese, whole milk for richness
• 1 large egg, room temperature to blend smoothly
• 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped (baby spinach works wonders)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, because extra flavor never hurts
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg, freshly grated if possible for that warm aroma
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, my go-to for brushing the layers
• Salt and pepper, measured with your heart but start with 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it’s fully heated for even cooking.
2. In a bowl, mix ricotta, egg, spinach, Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined. Tip: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
3. Lightly brush a 9×13 inch baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
4. Carefully lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the dish, brush with olive oil, and repeat until you have 5 layers. Tip: Keep unused phyllo covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
5. Spread half the ricotta mixture over the phyllo layers evenly.
6. Add another 5 layers of phyllo, brushing each with oil, then the remaining ricotta mixture.
7. Top with 5 more phyllo layers, brushing the top layer generously with oil for a golden finish. Tip: Gently tuck in the edges for a neat appearance.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden and crispy.
9. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set.

Delightfully crisp on the outside with a creamy, flavorful interior, this lasagna is a breakfast game-changer. Serve it with a side of fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey for a sweet contrast to the savory layers.
