Before You Get Started

  • Thaw the phyllo cups. Make sure your phyllo cups are fully thawed before filling them to ensure they bake evenly.
  • Use softened goat cheese. Let the goat cheese come to room temperature for easier spreading and a creamier texture.
  • Serve warm. These phyllo cups taste best when served warm, so plan to bake them just before serving.

    Storage Instructions

    • To Reheat: Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to crisp them back up before serving. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the phyllo soggy.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What can I use instead of fig jam?

    You can swap fig jam for honey, apricot preserves, or even cranberry sauce.

    Can I use a different cheese?

    Absolutely! Cream cheese or brie are great alternatives if you’re not a fan of goat cheese.

    How do I keep the phyllo cups crispy?

    Bake them just before serving and avoid overfilling to prevent the cups from becoming soggy.

    Where do I find phyllo cups?

    You can find phyllo cups in the frozen food isle in the grocery store next to frozen puff pastry.
