Spinach and Feta Phyllo Cups are crispy, bite-sized appetizers filled with a savory blend of spinach, feta, and cream cheese. Quick to prepare using store-bought phyllo shells, they’re perfect for parties, brunches, and holiday spreads.

Ingredients

  • 1 box mini phyllo cups (15 count, fully baked)
  • 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 green onion or shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 egg (optional, lightly beaten)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • Olive oil or melted butter (for brushing, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange phyllo cups on a baking sheet.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, feta, cream cheese, garlic, green onion, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the beaten egg if using, and stir until well combined.
  3. Spoon the filling into the phyllo cups, packing gently and mounding slightly on top.
  4. Optional: Lightly brush the tops with olive oil or melted butter for extra crispness.
  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the filling is set and the cups are golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Drain spinach thoroughly to avoid soggy filling.
  • You can assemble the cups ahead of time and bake just before serving.
  • Try mixing in a little ricotta or grated Parmesan for variation.
  • Leftovers reheat best in the oven or air fryer for crispiness.
