This showstopping dessert-for-breakfast dish is inspired by the guava and cheese pastelitos at Versailles, a Cuban restaurant in Miami, but is much simpler to execute thanks to store-bought phyllo pastry. Dramatic, ruffly coils of phyllo are baked until crisp, then baked again in a simple goat cheese custard, and finally drizzled with a glossy guava syrup. If you can’t find guava paste to make the syrup, feel free to substitute your favorite fruit jam thinned with a splash of water. Pair it with the rest of DeVonn’s dream Pride brunch menu: Breakfast Smash Burgers, Coconut and Turmeric Fried Rice, and Melon and Avocado Crudo.
