Here’s a simple, crowd-pleasing recipe for Stuffed Phyllo Cups with Spinach, Feta & Sun-Dried Tomatoes 🥬🧀🍅
Ingredients (makes ~15–20 cups)
- 15–20 mini phyllo cups (store-bought)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped (oil-packed, drained)
- 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
- 2–3 tbsp cream cheese or ricotta (for creaminess)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes or dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Sauté spinach: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic (if using) and cook ~30 seconds. Add spinach and cook just until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix filling: In a bowl, combine spinach, feta, sun-dried tomatoes, cream cheese (or ricotta), pepper, and any optional seasonings. Taste before adding salt—feta is already salty.
- Fill phyllo cups: Spoon the mixture into each phyllo cup, filling but not overpacking.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until heated through and the cups are crisp.
- Serve warm. Optional garnish: extra feta or chopped fresh herbs (parsley or basil).
Tips & Variations
- Add toasted pine nuts for crunch 🌰
- Swap feta for goat cheese for a tangier flavor
- These are great for parties, holidays, or appetizers
