What’s not to love about phyllo cup appetizer recipes? They not only taste great but they make entertaining so easy! I used them for the first time when I made these no-bake cheesecake bites for a party. What can I say…I’ve been totally hooked ever since!
While they’re great for desserts, you can’t beat them as a savory appetizer. Not only do these bite-sized treats look great on your party food table but they’re also incredibly versatile (and delicious).
Sometimes known as fillo cups, they can be made from scratch or bought premade from the freezer section at the grocery store. I always have a couple boxes in my freezer for when I need to make something quick and easy last minute.
What Are Phyllo Cups
Phyllo cups are small, crispy pastry cups made from phyllo pastry dough, which is a delicate, thin pastry dough used in a lot of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. I use the store-bought phyllo cups but they can also be made from scratch with phyllo dough and a muffin tin.
Why We Love Phyllo Cup Appetizers
