Simple Feta Phyllo Cups with Hot Honey

Inspired by the feta me meli I ate every day when I visited Greece, these feta phyllo cups are absolutely addictive. Think salty feta, sweet-spicy hot honey, and nutty sesame seeds all packaged up in buttery, flaky pastry. Oof, you have no idea how good these are! Even better, they come together in minutes, so they’re amazing for last-minute gatherings. Just pour some ouzo and pretend you’re in Santorini!

Ingredients

2 boxes - phyllo shells
8 ounces - feta cheese
⅓ cup - hot honey
1 tbsp - sesame seeds
Red pepper flakes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Gently line the shells side-by-side on the prepared sheet pan.
Add 1 feta cheese cube to each shell. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is softened and hot all the way through. (Feta doesn't really melt, so it'll hold its shape even when it's baked.)
Use a spatula to transfer the cups to a serving platter. Immediately before serving, drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of hot honey into each cup. Garnish the cups with toasted sesame seeds and red pepper flakes, if using. Enjoy!
