Ingredients

• 6 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 3 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or butter.

Step 2

On a clean work surface, lay out a sheet of phyllo pastry and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another phyllo sheet on top and repeat until all six sheets are layered and brushed with butter.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 12 equal squares.

Step 4

Carefully press each square into the prepared muffin tin, forming a cup. Bake the phyllo cups in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.

Step 6

Add the crumbled feta, minced garlic, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 7

Carefully spoon the feta custard mixture into each prebaked phyllo cup, filling them almost to the top.

Step 8

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden on top.

Step 9

Remove the phyllo cups from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Gently remove the cups from the tin and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature as a savory appetizer or party snack.
