Butternut Thyme Tartlets image

A great teaser for what's to come, this light and crunchy appetizer is filled with my favorite late-fall flavors. Make the creamy filling a few days early, then fill the phyllo cups right before guests arrive. -Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but I thought these tartlets were pretty good. The thyme really helped to balance out the sweetness of the squash.

These tartlets were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if the filling had been less sweet.

The crust was a bit too thick for my liking, but the filling was delicious. I would try making these again with a thinner crust.

These tartlets were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some additional seasoning to the filling.

These tartlets were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and they still came out perfectly. The butternut squash and thyme filling was flavorful and creamy, and the crust was flaky and golden brown.
