SPINACH AND CHEESE APPETIZER CUPS

Category: Hot

Saute about 1 cup of spinach; add in 1/4 of a chopped shallot and 2 cloves of garlic; set aside to cool (I threw it in the fridge for a few minutes).

Mix about 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella with 1-2 tbsp mayo; set aside

Cook 3-4 slices bacon; crumble and set aside.

To prep the phyllo cups: spray a muffin tin (6 cup tin) with cooking spray. Cut 26 squares of phyllo dough, about 4 inch squares. Lay one square on a cutting board and brush with melted butter. Top with another square, brush with butter. Continue until you have 4 layers. Put the dough into the muffin tin making sure to press the dough all the way down. Some will stick up at the top. Continue until you have made all 6 cups.

Put a spoonful of the spinach mixture into each tin. Top with a spoonful of the mozzarella/mayo mixture. Finally, top with some crumbled bacon. Bake on 350 for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
