Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your phyllo cups.
  • Work quickly with the phyllo dough. It dries out quickly, so it's important to assemble the cups as soon as possible after you've taken it out of the package.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the phyllo dough. This will help to prevent it from tearing.
  • Don't overfill the phyllo cups. They should be filled about 2/3 full, or they will overflow when they're baked.
  • Bake the phyllo cups until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are crispy and cooked through.
  • Serve the phyllo cups warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or dessert.
