Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
- Add meat to a 12-inch skillet over medium high heat and sauté until it starts to brown. Making sure to break up the meat while it cooks.
- Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for 5 minutes or until they soften and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add in spinach and cream cheese and mix to combine. Lower the heat and work the cream cheese into the meat mixture until smooth.
- Scoop an equal amount of filling into the mini fillo shells and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Top each bite with a sprinkling of cheese.
- Add to the oven and bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- Serve warm.

Notes
- Fillo cups do not have to be pre-baked, as they are fully cooked. They are shelf-stable and can be stored in the freezer or the pantry.
- Use a sweet Italian sausage or a 50/50 mix of sweet and spicy for a slightly different flavor.
- For fewer calories, try using light cream cheese or Neufchatel cheese.
- You can put the tray under the broiler instead of preheating the oven, BUT you must watch the bites. They can burn quickly under a broiler.
- You can substitute breakfast roll sausage for the Italian sausage, but it will bring a slightly different flavor. More sage forward.
- I'm using fresh spinach, but thawed and drained frozen shredded spinach will work well here, too.
- White mushrooms can be used in place of baby bella mushrooms. I don't recommend canned mushrooms for this recipe.
- I like to grate my garlic on a microplane, but you can also use squeeze garlic, minced garlic from a jar, or even garlic powder.
