- Level: Easy
- Total: 35 min
- Prep: 25 min
- Cook: 10 min
- Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients
For the cups:
Vegetable spray
6 sheets phyllo dough
4 tablespoons butter, melted
For the herbed goat cheese:
1 cup goat cheese
1 cup cream cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup chopped basil leaves
1 teaspoon black pepper
For the salad:
4 cups arugula leaves
1 cup orange segments
12 English breakfast radishes, cut lengthwise
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly spray 12 muffin tins with vegetable spray. On a flat working surface, stack 6 phyllo sheets and cut into 6 (4-inch) squares, forming a total of 36 squares. Using a pastry brush, dab a phyllo square with melted butter. Press another phyllo square on top of the first making sure the corners are at different angles. Repeat with a third piece of phyllo. Press the phyllo into the cups. Bake until golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Allow to cool.
- For the herbed goat cheese:
- In a medium sized microwave-proof bowl, place the goat cheese and the cream cheese. Microwave until softened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spatula or whisk, mix in the olive oil, garlic, basil, and black pepper until smooth.
- To assemble:
- Place a dollop of the goat cheese mixture in each phyllo cup. Top each cup with arugula leaves and garnish with orange segments and English breakfast radishes.
