Classic baklava comes to breakfast courtesy of a lightly toasted cinnamon raisin English muffin and topped with a buttery baklava filling of pistachios and walnuts. It's a delicious way to change up your breakfast routine. Serve with your choice of fresh fruit and lots of napkins. —Sharyn LaPointe Hill, Las Cruces, New Mexico
