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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
