Instructions
- Follow the package instructions to defrost the phyllo dough.

- While baking, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove.
- Remove the pan from the oven, drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dough, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until smooth.
- Once again, remove the pan from the oven and evenly pour the egg mixture over the dough.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the phyllo dough turns golden brown and becomes flaky to the touch.
- If desired, top with pistachios and strawberries. Enjoy your delicious Crinkle Baklava!
