Servings: 15 pieces
Calories: 59kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups black or red grapes rinsed and dried
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 15 Mini Phyllo Shells
- 1 sprig thyme
- 3 Tablespoons walnuts toasted and chopped
- 1 teaspoon honey optional
- 2 oz good quality blue cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, grapes, and thyme leaves. Make sure the grapes are dry or they will splatter.
- Saute grapes for 7-10 minutes or until they are softened. Add the honey.
- While the grapes roast in the pan, preheat the oven to 350 ℉. Spread the phyllo cups on a baking pan.
- Remove the grapes from heat. Mash about half of the grapes to release some juice, but leave the rest whole.
- Place 1 teaspoon of grapes (one whole grape plus some crushed) with juice in each phyllo cup. Add a few crumbles of blue cheese and a sprinkle of walnuts to each cup.
- Bake the filled phyllo cups for 6-8 minutes until the shells are golden and the cheese starts to melt.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Look for mini phyllo cups in the freezer section of most grocery stores near the desserts.
