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.
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen chopped spinach , 10 ounce
- 1 cup sour cream
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 6 eggs
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups shredded Swiss cheese

- 1 cup melted butter , divided
- 1 package smoked turkey sausage , 14 ounce
- 0.5 teaspoons dried parsley , or to taste

Unroll phyllo dough and cover with a damp cloth. Place 2 sheets in a 9x13-inch baking pan. Brush top layer with butter using a basting brush. Repeat process 2 more times for a total of 6 sheets of layered phyllo dough.
