Can you suggest anyone type of cheese that might pair with this instead of goat cheese? Thanks!
Hi Sue, you could try feta or brie!
They look lovely! Please would you provide details as to how to make the phyllo cups. The cases are very versatile
Hi, these are store bough from the freezer section. However you can make them by pressing squares of phyllo dough into mini muffin tins.
Hi!! I want to make these with the fig and goat cheese bites. What would happen if I threw them both in for the full 10 minutes that is in the other recipe? Very excited to try!
Hi, I’m not sure! The only worry I have is they might brown a bit, so I would keep an eye on them.
These are so pretty & DELICIOUS! So easy & a crowd pleaser!
So great! Beautiful presentation at Christmastime! Easy, make ahead and delicious. Highly recommend.
I’m so glad you loved it!
