Ah, phyllo cups—tiny, crispy, buttery cups made from phyllo dough that are perfect for snacks or appetizers! 🥧✨ You can fill them with sweet or savory fillings, so they’re super versatile.
Basic Components:
- Phyllo dough – very thin sheets that crisp up in the oven.
- Butter or oil – brushed between layers to make them golden and flaky.
- Filling – sweet (like chocolate, cream, or fruit) or savory (like cheese, spinach, or meat).
How It Works:
- Layer the phyllo sheets: Cut phyllo into squares, brush each layer with melted butter or oil, and stack a few layers for strength.
- Shape: Press them into a mini muffin tin or a special phyllo cup mold.
- Bake: Oven-bake until golden brown and crispy.
- Fill: Once cooled, add your desired sweet or savory filling.
Fun Tips:
- Sweet versions: Nutella, cream cheese, or mini fruit pieces.
- Savory versions: Feta and spinach, goat cheese with herbs, or tiny taco-style fillings.
- Crispy factor: Don’t skip the butter/oil between layers—it’s what makes them flaky!
Phyllo cups are basically edible little cups of magic—perfect for snacks, parties, or even just experimenting in the kitchen.
