- Mix the Maille Honey Dijon Mustard with the sundried tomatoes, feta and walnuts.
- Line 6 sheets of filo pastry whilst gently brushing each with the Maille hazelnut oil as you go.
- Spread part of the filling evenly on the base, then place two filo pastry sheets, one at a time, brushing each with hazelnut oil. Add another layer of filling and repeat with another 2 filo pastry sheets and filling. Take the last sheets of filo pastry, and place carefully on top to seal the baklava again one sheet at a time brushed with Maille hazelnut oil.
- With a sharp knife carve the baklava gently into squares, triangles or diamonds and bake in the oven until golden brown and allow to cool.
