Cooking instructions-

Place filled tortillas on a baking sheet sprayed with non stick spray.

Brush each with olive oil and bake in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve with guacamole, sour cream or enchilada sauce. I used green enchilada sauce because it is what I had on hand. The tortillas will be crisp and flaky. So much better than deep fried!

Sweet Tooth Tuesdays- Baklava Egg Rolls

Carrie Robinson — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 11:00:51 +0000

Good morning all and welcome to the first Sweet Tooth Tuesdays on 5 Dinners-in-1Hour! I am so thrilled & honored to now be a contributing recipe blogger for 5 Dinners-in-1Hour, and you can find me here every other Tuesday sharing a new dessert recipe with you all. Every other day of the week you can find me blogging at Frugal Foodie Mama sharing my favorite recipes, my budgeting tips, and the story of my journey through motherhood.

Today I am sharing my recipe for Baklava Egg Rolls. Yes, baklava in egg roll form. ;)

Baklava is one of my husband’s favorite desserts. In fact, it is usually how I “bribe” him to take me to a Greek restaurant.

I found myself with leftover egg rolls wrappers and a husband with a craving for baklava one day and my Baklava Egg Rolls were born!

If you would like the recipe for my fun twist on this classic Greek dessert, just click on over here.

Be sure to check back here in two weeks for an all new Sweet Tooth recipe!
