1Tablespoonolive oil
15Mini Phyllo Shells
1sprig thyme
3Tablespoonswalnutstoasted and chopped
1teaspoonhoneyoptional
2ozgood quality blue cheesecrumbled
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.Nutrition information is for one piece.You can prep the grapes ahead but don't fill or bake the phyllo cups until close to serving time.
