  • Total Time: 16 minutes
  • Yield: 15 servings

Ingredients

Phyllo Shells

  • 15 phyllo shells (one package)

Feta Dip

  • 1/2 cup finely diced tomato (Roma tomatoes recommended)
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons sliced green onion / scallions
  • 1.5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A squeeze of lemon juice (to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Toast Phyllo Shells: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the phyllo shells on a baking sheet and lightly toast them for 5-6 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. This step is optional but adds a delightful extra crunch to the cups.
  2. Prepare Ingredients: Finely dice the tomatoes, preferably Roma or plum varieties as they are ripe and flavorful. Crumble the feta cheese to measure out 1/3 cup, and slice the green onions thinly with a chef’s knife or scissors.
  3. Mix the Dip: In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, crumbled feta, and sliced green onions. Add the extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Season the mixture with dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and adjust seasoning according to your preference.
  4. Assemble: Using a 1/2 tablespoon measuring spoon, spoon a heaping portion of the feta dip mixture into each phyllo shell. Ensure each cup is filled generously but not overflowing.
  5. Serve: Serve the filled phyllo cups immediately to enjoy the perfect contrast between the crisp shell and the creamy, tangy dip.

Notes

  • To enhance crispness, toast the phyllo shells just before serving.
  • Roma or plum tomatoes are preferred for their firm texture and rich flavor, but other ripe tomatoes can be used.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice and seasonings to suit your taste preferences.
  • For a dairy-free or vegan alternative, substitute feta cheese with a plant-based cheese.
  • Phyllo shells can be found pre-made in most grocery stores, making this recipe a quick and easy appetizer option.
