What are phyllo cups?

Phyllo cups are small, pre-made pastry shells made from phyllo dough. They are light, flaky, and perfect for holding various fillings, making them a convenient option for appetizers.

How can I make the phyllo cups crispier?

For extra crispiness, you can pre-bake the empty phyllo cups for a few minutes before adding the filling. This helps ensure they stay crispy even after adding the moist filling.

Will Phyllo Cups get soggy?

Phyllo cups can get soggy if they sit too long with a wet filling. To keep them crisp, fill and bake the cups just before serving. If you need to prepare them in advance, store the filling and the phyllo cups separately and combine them right before baking. Avoid reheating in the microwave as it can make the phyllo cups lose their crispiness.
