You’ve been asked to bring a little something to a gathering. Maybe an appetizer, something easy to pick up and pop in your mouth, nothing too complicated, nothing too expensive and nothing that requires a road map for reading instructions.
How does a crispy phyllo cup filled with goat cheese and a little savory topping? Easy. Three ingredients. That’s it.
Buy a box of 15 Apollo’s Phyllo Shells, ready to be baked. About $3.00 in the freezer section of the market, next to the puff pastry sheets.

Next, get yourself to Costco and see if they have Saveur brand goat cheese bites. About 15 per package, 2 packages per box. If you can’t find these little morsels, buy a 4 ounce log of goat cheese and cut into bite sized pieces, small enough to fit into each shell.

Place the cheese in the shells, place the shells on a baking sheet, top with a small dollop of a savory of some kind. Olive tapenade. Italian eggplant caponata. Chopped artichoke hearts. Strips of roasted red pepper. Pesto. Bake in 375o oven for 6-8 minutes just until the cheese warms and the shells are crispy. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme, basil, rosemary, or chopped Italian parsley. Serve at once. It’s that easy. Makes 15 (if using one box of shells).
