Mushroom Spinach Phyllo Cups – Easy Bite Sized Party Appetizer
I started making these Mushroom Spinach Phyllo Cups a few years ago when I needed a quick appetizer for a holiday get-together. I had some leftover mushrooms, spinach, and bacon in the fridge, so I tossed them together and spooned the mix into phyllo shells, and they turned out to be a hit with everyone.
Since then, they’ve become my go-to for parties or when I just need a quick and easy bite-sized snack that still feels a little special.
