Breaklava Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Breaklava Recipe). My husband named this recipe Breaklava because I use phyllo dough, butter, and breakfast ingredients and layer it in a similar way you do for baklava. So it's breakfast baklava! You can use any combination of cheese to make it unique.
