Need a quick and easy appetizer for the upcoming holiday season? Grab a box of phyllo shells and your imagination and you can whip up a whole bunch of different things.

Start with these mushroom and goat cheese tartlets: mushrooms cooked down with shallots, garlic, and wine, then mixed with goat cheese and topped with melty gruyere. Heaven!

Not a fan of goat cheese? Replace with cream cheese instead.

Cook up a batch of caramelized onions and stuff the cups with those, then top with a little slice of brie. Magic.

Or how about halved cherry tomatoes, mini balls of buffalo mozzarella, baked until melty and drizzled with balsamic glaze???

BRB I need to go make some more mini phyllo tartlets!

Ingredients

1 T butter
1 T olive oil
1 small shallot, finely minced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme, or 1/2 tsp dried
8 oz cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
2 T sherry cooking wine (or sub white wine)
2 oz goat cheese, softened to room temp
1 c shredded gruyere cheese
1 box Athens phyllo cups (15 count)
Extra mini sprigs of fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions

Melt 1 T butter and 1 T olive oil in a sauté pan.
Sauté the shallots and garlic with thyme over medium-low heat so as not to burn them.
Add in chopped mushrooms and sauté until fully cooked and all liquid has evaporated. You may need an extra drizzle of olive oil if mushrooms seem a bit dry.
Add sherry wine to pan and again cook until liquid is gone.
Season with salt and pepper, remove thyme sprig, and allow to cool.
You should end up with about 5-6 oz of cooked mushrooms.
Combine mushrooms with goat cheese, mixing well.
Scoop mixture into phyllo cups, about 1 T per cup.
Top with a sprinkle of shredded gruyere cheese.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 min, then broil for 2-3 min to melt the gruyere. Don't walk away! The phyllo shells could burn.
Out of the oven, top with a tiny sprig of fresh thyme for garnish.

Would Brie work? I have 3 rounds of it!

  It’s going to have a completely different taste and texture are different. Brie is mild, goat cheese has a bite to it

  If you want to use the Brie then use fruit instead of mushrooms and add a bit of sweetness with jam, jelly, honey, agave, or any sweet syrup.

  I think Brie is also delicious with mushrooms! I would sauté the mushrooms as stated in the recipe, scoop it into the phyllo cups, and top with a thick slice of brie to fit, and bake! Soooo yummy!
