Ingredients

Scale

Phyllo Cups and Cheese

  • 24 mini phyllo cups
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Honey Drizzle

  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Additional

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the phyllo cups evenly.
  2. Prepare Phyllo Cups: Arrange the 24 mini phyllo cups on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are evenly spaced.
  3. Fill with Feta: Evenly distribute the crumbled feta cheese into each phyllo cup, filling them generously but without overstuffing.
  4. Bake Cups: Bake the filled cups in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the feta softens and turns slightly golden, and the edges of the phyllo cups become crisp and golden brown.
  5. Make Hot Honey: While the cups bake, combine the honey and red pepper flakes in a small bowl, mixing well to infuse the honey with juicy spicy notes.
  6. Drizzle Hot Honey: Once the phyllo cups are out of the oven and still warm, drizzle the spicy honey mixture evenly over each cup to add a sweet and heat contrast.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top for an aromatic touch, then serve the crispy feta and hot honey phyllo cups warm for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

  • If you prefer less heat, reduce the red pepper flakes or omit them entirely.
  • These phyllo cups are best served warm but can be made ahead and reheated briefly in the oven.
  • Fresh thyme adds a lovely herbal aroma but is optional based on your preference.
  • Use high-quality feta cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • Ensure the phyllo cups do not burn by keeping an eye on them during the bake time, as oven temperatures vary.
