Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13x2-inch baking pan.

  2. Drain strawberries and reserve juice in a bowl. Chop into pieces and add any remaining juice to the bowl.

  3. Combine cottage cheese, cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, egg yolks, whole egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest in a bowl. Blend together using an electric mixer on medium speed. Stir in the drained strawberries.

  4. Place phyllo dough sheets between dampened towels to keep moist.

  5. Place 1 phyllo sheet on the prepared pan. Brush with melted butter. Repeat until 1/2 of the sheets are left.

  6. Spoon the strawberry-cheese mixture over the top layer of phyllo, spread evenly. Layer the remaining phyllo sheets on top, brushing each with butter.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 1 hour.

  8. Combine 1/2 cup reserved strawberry juice, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook into a thick syrup, about 5 minutes.

  9. Spoon hot syrup evenly over the baked baklava. Let cool before cutting into pieces.

Recipe Yield

Recipe Note

Two of my favorite things in the world are strawberry cheesecake and baklava, so I found a way to combine them! Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, I figured this would be a great recipe to share with the world! I garnished with blueberries, because I used all my strawberries in the recipe!
