Phyllo Nests With Honey And Walnuts |
|
Serves: 8
The key to working with phyllo is to keep it moist. Thaw the frozen phyllo in the refrigerator and keep it covered with a damp cloth as you work. If you're not a big fan of walnuts, feel free to substitute pistachios or almonds.
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
8 sheets thawed frozen phyllo pastry leaves
1 1/4 cups walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup honey
2 cups fresh raspberries (optional)

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, making sure it doesn't burn.
Working with one sheet of phyllo at a time, pick it up from the center (as you would a handkerchief). Begin twisting the phyllo as you set it down on a baking sheet to make a free-form nest 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Using a pastry brush, brush the nest liberally with the melted butter. Repeat with each of the remaining 7 sheets of phyllo.
Bake the phyllo for 15 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
In a small skillet over medium-low heat, toast the walnuts for about 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly toasted.
In a small saucepan, warm the honey over low heat.
To serve, place a nest in the center of each plate. Liberally drizzle each with warm honey and sprinkle with toasted walnuts, and raspberries, if using. Serve at once.
