Ingredients

• 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 12 pieces Mozzarella pearls
• 12 pieces Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
• 6 pieces Fresh strawberries
• 3 ounces Goat cheese
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Pistachios, finely chopped
• 12 pieces Mini phyllo cups
• 4 ounces Crab meat
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon Chives, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and prepare all fresh ingredients: rinse the cherry tomatoes, strawberries, and basil leaves thoroughly.

Step 2

Prepare the Caprese skewers: Thread one cherry tomato, one mozzarella pearl, and one fresh basil leaf onto a toothpick or small skewer. Drizzle balsamic glaze lightly over the skewers and set aside on a serving platter.

Step 3

For the strawberry-goat cheese bites: Cut each strawberry in half lengthwise. Spread a small dollop of goat cheese onto the cut side of each strawberry half. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with finely chopped pistachios. Arrange these on the platter alongside the Caprese skewers.

Step 4

For the crab-filled phyllo cups: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, cream cheese, chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Spoon the crab mixture evenly into each mini phyllo cup. Place the filled cups on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, or until the filling is warmed through. Remove from the oven and arrange them on the serving platter.

Step 5

Serve the three types of appetizers together for a stunning and delicious display. Enjoy!
