Ingredients

  • 15 cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 15 marinated mozzarella balls, quartered
  • 4 large basil leaves, sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 30 phyllo shells
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • Line a tray or baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the phyllo shells on the tray so they’re ready to fill.
  • Cut the tomatoes and mozzarella into bite-sized pieces, then place them in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Slice the basil leaves into thin strips, and cut any larger pieces into smaller bits, then add them to the bowl.
  • Drizzle the tomato mixture with olive oil and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
  • Spoon the mixture into the phyllo cups, dividing it evenly between each shell. About 2 pieces of mozzarella and 2 pieces of tomato fit well in each cup.
  • Finish the cups with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar right before serving.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture. The phyllo shells will soften and become soggy if they sit too long after being filled.
