Mini Phyllo Cups with Whipped Goat Cheese, Grapes, and Thyme
Yield: 30 appetizers
Can I tell you how absolutely wonderful whipped goat cheese is?! So fluffy and creamy and tangy, it’s just plain delightful.
Ingredients
- 2 boxes Athens Mini Fillo Shells 3o shells total
- 6 oz. goat cheese
- 4 oz. cream cheese at room temperature
- 2 T. half and half
- 15 large red seedless grapes quartered
- 2 T. honey
- 1 T. chopped fresh thyme
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Remove Athens Mini Fillo Shells from boxes and set on counter, with the phyllo shells still in their protective tray.
- With an electric mixer, whip goat cheese and cream cheese in a medium bowl on high speed. Once incorporated, add the half and half, and then whip for a minute or two, until smooth and fluffy. Place mixture in a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip. Pipe a dollop of the mixture into the bottom of each phyllo shell. Gently press two pieces of grape into the top of each whipped goat cheese dollop. If serving immediately, drizzle the grapes with a bit of honey. Then sprinkle a little thyme and black pepper over the top.
- If serving later in the day, place trays of phyllo shells, with whipped goat cheese and grapes only, into the refrigerator. When ready to serve, drizzle on the honey and then add the thyme and black pepper.
- (If you don't have pastry bags and tips, simply use a small spoon to fill the phyllo cups with whipped goat cheese. Or place whipped goat cheese in a ziplock baggie, snip off a corner of the baggie, and pipe goat cheese into the phyllo shells.)
