Feta Dip Phyllo Cups Recipe Ingredients:
- 12 phyllo cups (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil spray or melted butter (for brushing)
Prepare the Feta Dip:
In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and parsley (if using).
Mix everything together until smooth and well combined. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
Prepare the Phyllo Cups:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
If you’re using store-bought phyllo cups, place them on a baking sheet.
If you’re using phyllo dough, brush each sheet with melted butter or olive oil, stack a few sheets, and cut into small squares to form the cups.
Lightly spray or brush the phyllo cups with olive oil or melted butter for extra crispiness.
Fill the Phyllo Cups:
Spoon a generous amount of the feta dip into each phyllo cup, filling them almost to the top.
Bake:
Bake the filled phyllo cups in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden and crispy.
Serve:
Once baked, remove the cups from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Serve immediately or store them in an airtight container until ready to serve.
Recipe Notes:
You can make the feta dip ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors meld.
Feel free to add other herbs like dill or oregano to customize the dip to your taste.
If you don’t have phyllo cups, you can also make your own by layering phyllo dough and baking it in muffin tins.
