2 pkg. (250g each) philadelphia brick cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup honey, divided |
1 tsp. vanilla |
2 eggs |
12 sheets frozen phyllo pastry, thawed, cut in half crosswise |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Mix walnuts, sugar and spices; set aside.
3. Beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup of the honey and the vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
4. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
5. Place layers of the phyllo sheets in 13x9-inch baking pan, brushing each layer with butter and sprinkling a rounded tablespoonful of the walnut mixture over every other layer of phyllo.
