Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a food processor grind pecans with sugar until finely chopped. In a piece of parchment paper on a work surface arrange 1 phyllo sheet and brush with some butter. Sprinkle phyllo sheet evenly with half of pecan sugar and top with a second phyllo sheet, some butter, remaining pecan sugar, and remaining phyllo sheet, pressing down gently with your fingers and brushing with some butter. Slide a baking sheet under parchment and chill phyllo 10 minutes.
- Transfer phyllo with parchment to a cutting board and with sharp knife cut stack lengthwise into 2-inch-wide strips, cutting through parchment and discarding excess. Cut each rectangle diagonally in half and transfer triangles on parchment to baking sheet, separating triangles slightly. Cover triangles directly with another parchment sheet and bake in lower third of oven 15 minutes, or until golden. Cool crisps on baking sheet on a rack. Crisps keep in an airtight container at room temperature 1 week.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees with the rack positioned in the center. Melt 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, and set aside. Set 2 tablespoons of the thyme aside. Brush a mini-muffin tin with melted butter, and set tin aside.
- Place 1 sheet phyllo dough on a clean, dry work surface; brush the entire sheet generously with melted butter. Sprinkle lightly with reserved thyme. Place another sheet phyllo on top, brush with butter, and sprinkle with thyme. Repeat with 2 more sheets phyllo. Cut stack into twelve 3-inch squares. Gently press each square into muffin-tin cup. Bake until edges are just golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Repeat step two with 4 more sheets phyllo dough, melted butter, and thyme. Repeat again, for a total of 36 crisps. (The crisps may be made one day ahead and kept in an airtight container.)
- In a large skillet, melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add shallots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme. Continue cooking, stirring often, until mushrooms have released some liquid and have cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Place 1/4 teaspoon goat cheese in the bottom of each phyllo crisp, and place 1 heaping teaspoon of the mushroom mixture on top of the goat cheese. Transfer the filled cups to a baking sheet. Cook in oven just until heated through, about 3 minutes. Garnish with more thyme, and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality phyllo dough: Fresh, flaky phyllo dough is the key to crispy, delicious crisps. Look for phyllo dough that is thin and pliable, with no tears or holes.
- Brush each sheet of phyllo dough with melted butter: This will help to create a golden brown, crispy exterior.
- Bake the crisps at a high temperature: This will help to quickly crisp up the dough and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Leave some space between the crisps so that they can cook evenly.
- Watch the crisps closely while they are baking: They can burn quickly, so it's important to remove them from the oven as soon as they are golden brown.
- Let the crisps cool completely before serving: This will help them to crisp up even more.
Conclusion:
Phyllo crisps are a versatile and delicious snack or appetizer that can be enjoyed on their own or served with a variety of dips and spreads. They are also a great way to use up leftover phyllo dough. With a little practice, you can easily make perfect phyllo crisps at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give these recipes a try!
