Mini phyllo tarts scream party food. They are festive on the serving platter and deliciously flaky and fun. Phyllo is surprisingly easy to work with, and in this case, using pre-made mini shells means these bites come together with very little prep time required, (though they'll look like the came out of a professional catering kitchen). For additional, pre-party time-saving, make the filling a day a ahead, cover and refrigerate. Alternately, if you can't find phyllo cups, you can work with sheets of phyllo dough and follow package instructions on how to layer them into a muffin tin for baking. Either way, these light, cheesy appetizers will fly off the serving plate! Make a double batch to cue up for baking as your guests arrive. They are best served hot out of the oven, plus they'll give your home that comforting, fresh baked scent, too.
