Ingredients Needed
There are only 6 ingredients needed to make this easy appetizer:
- Frozen Phyllo Cups: This is the easiest and most convenient way to make this recipe. I recommend taking them out of the freezer about 10-15 minutes before you need to use them. These are much easier to handle than actual sheets of phyllo dough! One package comes with about 15 cups. You can easily double the recipe and use two packages of mini phyllo shells.
- Hummus: You can use store-bought or homemade hummus!
- Cherry Tomatoes: Dice them up for a burst of tangy flavor in each bite.
- Black olives: Diced or sliced black olives work best! You can also use kalamata olives if you prefer and extra salty option.
- Feta cheese: Crumbled to sprinkle on top!
- Fresh Parsley: Garnish with some fresh parsley if desired.
How To Make Greek Hummus Phyllo Bites
- Add Hummus: these easy Greek Hummus Phyllo Bites, just layer a spoonful of hummus into each phyllo cup.
- Add Toppings: Top with tomatoes, black olives, feta cheese, and parsley.
- Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips and Variations
- Use a variety of hummus! I used plain here, but garlic, red pepper, roasted tomato or spicy hummus would be delicious.
- Not a fan of hummus? You could easily swap it for baba ganoush or tzatziki instead.
- Change up the veggies! Shredded lettuce, diced cucumbers, thinly sliced carrots, pickled onions, red peppers, eggplant, or zucchini would also work well here.
- Spice it up! Add some diced jalapeño, crushed red pepper flakes, or cayenne pepper.
- Make them vegan by omitting the feta or substituting a comparable plant-based cheese.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are phyllo cups?
Phyllo, sometimes know as filo, is a very very thin pastry dough that is often used in Greek foods. It is crunchy and flaky. The most popular use of phyllo dough is in baklava!
These mini phyllo cups are made by baking phyllo dough in a muffin tin to create little cups. It is easiest to buy phyllo dough already made and baked into cups for this recipe!
What other dips can I place in phyllo cups?
You don’t have to stop at these Greek hummus phyllo bites! You can make Mexican-inspired phyllo bites or even spicy buffalo chicken phyllo bites! Try serving them with spicy guacamole or caramelized onion dip
Storage Tips
You can make these an hour or so ahead of time, but be warned that the longer the hummus and toppings sit in the phyllo cups, the more soggy the cups will become. I recommend preparing them and plating them just before serving.

Where can I buy Philly cups?
Kelley Simmons
Hi!
They typically have phyllo cups in the frozen section at a grocery store. They are usually located by the frozen pie crusts and puff pastry.
Hope this helps! Thanks,

These look as if they have just come straight out of a Mediterranean cookbook or something, they look so light + nourishing. They would make the perfect refreshments for a summers day on the patio with something sweet + fizzy. I want winter over and done with already!
