Spinach Artichoke Dip Phyllo Cups
Description
The preparation involves whisking cream cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to create a smooth base. Finely chopped artichoke hearts, defrosted spinach with excess moisture removed, and grated mozzarella are mixed into the cream cheese mixture to form a flavorful, creamy filling.
This filling is then evenly portioned into mini phyllo shells arranged on a baking sheet. After an initial bake to warm and slightly set the filling, grated Parmesan cheese is sprinkled on top, and the cups are baked briefly again to melt the cheese and crisp the tops. The final result offers a combination of creamy, cheesy, tangy, and slightly spicy flavors with a crunchy shell that holds the filling well.
The phyllo cups are best served immediately for optimal crispness and taste, suitable as appetizers or snack bites in gatherings and casual meals.
