Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Phyllo Dough (use gluten-free if preferred)
  • Plant-based Brie, diced
  • Fresh Blackberries
  • Fresh Thyme sprigs, finely chopped
  • Olive Oil (natural) for brushing phyllo
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural), a splash
  • Apple Cider Vinegar (natural), a splash

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Phyllo Cups: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gently separate the phyllo sheets, brushing each layer lightly with olive oil (natural) to ensure crispiness. Layer 3-4 sheets together and press them carefully into muffin tins to form cups.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine diced plant-based brie with a splash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and apple cider vinegar (natural). Gently fold in finely chopped fresh thyme and a handful of blackberries, reserving some berries for garnish.
  3. Assemble the Cups: Spoon the brie and blackberry filling into each prepared phyllo cup, filling them nearly to the top without overflowing. Top each cup with a couple of fresh blackberries and a small thyme leaf for presentation.
  4. Bake and Serve: Bake the cups for 12-15 minutes or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp, and the filling is warmed through and slightly melty. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Handle phyllo gently and keep covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying and tearing.
  • Do not overfill the cups to avoid spillover during baking.
  • Use fresh thyme for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Brush phyllo evenly with olive oil for a crispy texture and subtle richness.
  • Prepare phyllo cups in advance and fill just before baking to save time.
