Products used in the Goat Cheese Phyllo Cups
Can I make these phyllo cups ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the phyllo cups ahead of time by baking them until golden brown, then storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. Fill them with the whipped goat cheese mixture and garnish just before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Can I substitute the sweet onion jelly with another preserve?
While the sweet onion jelly adds a unique flavor to these phyllo cups, you can certainly experiment with other preserves. Consider trying fig jam, raspberry preserves, or apricot jelly for different flavor profiles that complement the creamy goat cheese filling.
How do I prevent the phyllo pastry from drying out?
To prevent the phyllo pastry from drying out while assembling the cups, keep it covered with a damp kitchen towel. Additionally, work quickly and brush each layer of phyllo pastry with melted butter to keep it moist and pliable. If the pastry does start to dry out, you can lightly spritz it with water before continuing to layer.
