Steps

  • Preheat oven to 180°C and grease a large tray with butter.
  • Layer filo sheets with melted butter and the breakfast filling ingredients three times.
  • Cut the breakfast baklava into 12 triangles and sprinkle with demerara sugar.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Boil apple juice and caster sugar until the syrup reaches 108°C.
  • Pour cooled syrup over the hot baklava and let cool completely.
  • Mix hazelnuts, cocoa, coffee, chocolate chips, star anise, and sugar for the chocolate filling.
  • Preheat oven to 200°C and grease a second large baking tray.
  • Layer buttered filo squares with chocolate filling to create three thick layers.
  • Roll the filo into sausages using a spoon handle and place in the tin.
  • Cut rolls into quarters to make 12 portions and brush with more butter.
  • Bake at 200°C for 15 minutes, then reduce to 180°C for another 10-15 minutes.
