Ingredients:
- 8 oz feta cheese, crumbled

- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 package phyllo dough, thawed according to package instructions
- 1/4 cup melted butter or olive oil (for brushing phyllo)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped sundried tomatoes, fresh basil, minced garlic, and olive oil. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
- Carefully unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
- Take one sheet of phyllo dough and lightly brush it with melted butter or olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush it with butter or oil as well. Repeat this process with 4 more sheets, creating a stack of 6 sheets.
- Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 3-inch squares.
- Place a tablespoon of the feta-sundried tomato mixture into the center of each square.
- Gather the corners of the phyllo squares and pinch them together at the top, creating a small cup shape.
- Place the filled phyllo cups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops of the phyllo cups with more melted butter or olive oil.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the phyllo cups are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
These Baked Feta and Sundried Tomato Phyllo Cups are best served warm, but they’re also delicious at room temperature.
