A Decadent Twist: English Muffin Baklava

Madison

Imagine biting into a perfectly toasted English muffin, only to discover it's been transformed into a sweet, nutty, and utterly addictive treat that’s as suitable for breakfast as it is for a midday snack or a delightful dessert. Introducing the English Muffin Baklava—an unexpectedly delightful fusion that marries the comforting familiarity of an English muffin with the indulgent flavors of traditional baklava.


This creation is all about layers of texture and flavor. Each English muffin is generously topped with a thick, chunky mixture of pistachios, walnuts, butter, and brown sugar, creating a crispy-chewy topping that’s nothing short of heavenly. The broiling process caramelizes the sugars, adding a rich, toasty dimension that pairs perfectly with the nutty crunch.


And just when you think it can’t get any better, a dollop of creamy mascarpone and a drizzle of golden honey elevate this treat to a whole new level of decadence. Whether you enjoy it with your morning coffee, as an afternoon pick-me-up, or as a satisfying end to your day, this English Muffin Baklava will quickly become a staple in your culinary repertoire.


Ready to indulge in this heavenly creation? The recipe is simpler than you might think, and the results are nothing short of extraordinary.

Recipe from A Pinch of Yum


Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 10 Minutes


Ingredients

Pistachio Walnut Mixture:

  • 1/3 cup walnuts

  • 1/3 cup pistachios

  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter, softened or melted

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar


Other:

  • English muffins

  • Honey

  • Mascarpone cheese


Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler – I use the “Low Broil” setting but every oven will be different for which setting works best.

  2. Pulse the nuts in a food processor until finely chopped. Set aside a few spoonfuls of the nuts for topping. Mix the remaining nuts, butter, and brown sugar together in a small bowl.

  3. Toast the English muffins on a baking sheet lined with foil until toasty – about 3 minutes.

  4. Spread English muffins with the nutty butter mixture. Return to the oven, a few inches away from the broiler, for 1 minute or until bubbly and slightly caramelized.

  5. Top with a little baby dollop of mascarpone cheese and give it a gentle swoop to melt it in. Finish with extra nuts and honey. Pour yourself a cup of coffee to go with it. OMG, it’s so good!
