Phyllo Cups

These little cups are really easy to make, you could use them for many different fillings, hot or cold, sweet or savory . I like to make these with a savory filling of brie cheese. I decided to split the post, so as not to bore you with so many pictures :)

you will need a box pf phyllo dough, and some butter to melt

inside the box , there is two packages of pyhllo dough, each with 2 sheets, you will use both

open the first package of 2 sheets, and lay it out flat

open the second package, and lay out on top of the other 2 sheets, (so we have a stack of 4 sheets)

cut the 4 layers in 3 sections, length wise

cut those 3 sections in half, (sorry about all the math !!)

and those halves in half......you now have 12 stacks of 4 layers each

melt some butter

take one of the stacks of 4 sheets, open them up on the counter,

butter, each layer with butter

stack all 4 buttered sheets together on top of each other

and place on top of a muffin tin BUTTER side down.....

use a little jar or cup, to form the little cup

ta-dah !!

now repeat with the other, 11 squares of phyllo

These can either be filled and then baked to serve warm, or you could bake them all on their own now, @ 18º  for about 10- 15 minutes (watch them closely), let them cool and then fill them, with say egg salad,or custard and fruit etc.
