Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 phyllo pastry, thawed, covered with damp kitchen towel
1/3 cup butter, melted
6 teaspoons dry white breadcrumbs
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons lemon rind, grated
1 pint strawberry, hulled and sliced
fresh mint sprig

Steps:

  • For baskets: Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface.
  • Brush with butter.
  • Sprinkle 2 tsp bread crumbs over.
  • Top with second phyllo sheet, butter and sprinkle with 2 tsp crumbs.
  • Top with third phyllo sheet, butter and sprinkle with 2 tsp crumbs.
  • End with fourth phyllo sheet and just butter this one.
  • Cut out 12, 4-inch squares.
  • Brush every other cup of 2, ½ cup muffin tins with melted butter.
  • Place 1 phyllo square in each buttered cup, pressing down in center gently and around edges to mold (corners should stick up attractively - bend them slightly, but not all the way, back).
  • Bake until just golden-brown and crisp, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove and cool completely (can be prepared up to 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container).
  • For lemon curd: Whisk sugar, eggs, butter, lemon juice and peel over low heat until butter melts.
  • Cook until mixture thickens to consistency of light whipped cream, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour into bowl.
  • Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the curd and refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours (can be prepared up to 2 days ahead).
  • Spoon some berries into bottom of each basket, sprinkle VERY lightly with sugar, top with 2 ½ tbsp of lemon curd.
  • Arrange remaining berries in petal pattern on top of curd.
  • Garnish with mint.

These were a complete disaster. I followed the recipe exactly and they still turned out terrible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but these did not turn out well at all. The phyllo pastry was soggy and the lemon curd was too runny. I would not recommend this recipe.

These were the worst things I have ever eaten. They were so bad that I had to throw them away. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

These were a waste of time. They were not very good and they were very difficult to make. I would not recommend this recipe.

These were not very good. The phyllo pastry was too thick and the lemon curd was too tangy. I would not recommend this recipe.

These were a bit bland. I think I would have liked them better with more lemon curd. I also think I would have liked them better if I had used fresh strawberries instead of frozen strawberries.

These were very good, but I think I would have liked them better with a different type of fruit. I used strawberries, but I think raspberries or blueberries would have been better.

These were delicious, but I had a hard time finding phyllo pastry. I ended up using puff pastry instead and it worked just fine.

These were very easy to make and they turned out great. I used frozen strawberries and they worked just fine.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I would use less sugar in the lemon curd next time.

These are a great way to use up leftover phyllo pastry. I had some leftover from another recipe and these were the perfect way to use it up.

I've made these several times now and they are always a hit. They are so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly.

These were delicious! I used fresh strawberries and homemade lemon curd, and the flavors were amazing. The phyllo pastry was also very easy to work with.

I made these for a party and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them. They are so easy to make and look very impressive.

These strawberry and lemon curd phyllo baskets were a delightful treat! The combination of sweet strawberries and tangy lemon curd was perfect, and the phyllo pastry was crispy and flaky. I will definitely be making these again.
