Ingredients

For the Phyllo Cups

12 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
3 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil

For the Filling

5 oz fresh spinach, chopped and sautéed
4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Garnish

Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin.

Step 2: Make the Phyllo Cups

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter or olive oil. Layer 3 sheets together. Cut into squares large enough to fit muffin cups.

Press layered phyllo squares gently into muffin tin cavities to create cups. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine sautéed spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, egg, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.

Step 4: Fill the Cups

Spoon the filling evenly into each phyllo cup.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp and the filling is set.

Step 6: Garnish & Serve

Allow to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips

Keep phyllo dough covered with a damp towel while working to prevent drying out.
Add chopped olives or pine nuts for extra Mediterranean flavor.
These can be assembled ahead and baked just before serving.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best crispiness.
