      • Spread part of the filling evenly on the base, then place two filo pastry sheets, one at a time, brushing each with Olive 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 Olive Oil.
