In reply to Sandra Barnes. I think I'd bake them all the way. The store sells precooked shells that you add stuff to and bake and they don't over cook? Can you try like 1 or two at the 6 minute and then one or 2 in the fully cooked shell??

Ok, I’m making an Artichoke phyllo cup appy—should I pre-bake these homemade shells a little less (say 6 mins instead of 10), freeze them, then bake directly from the freezer with the artichoke filling for 15 mins? (that would be the second bake for the shells—wouldn’t that make them too brown?) I couldn’t find phyllo cups, so now I have to wing it—I’m worried I’m going to have soggy, undercooked appetizer. HELP LOL

Following this recipe exactly will make phyllo dough cups that are way too big. If you really want small ones that would fit in mini muffin tins, you need to use 4 sheets of dough and cut them in 3″ squares.

In reply to maryanne. You don't need to cook them ahead of time, you are good to put in your pie filling and then bake, and it'll take a few minutes longer for it all to bake since something is in it. Does that make sense?

This is a question: if you are putting a filling that needs baking, are you still pre-baking the phyllo cups first?

Due to supply chain issues, I was unable to buy phyllo cups and came across your recipe. I was really scared to try this but decided to just jumped right in. As I was using mini muffin tins, after I cut the squares, I used a small glass to make an impression in the dough then used scissors to cut them into rounds which fit the tins perfectly. Your hint about the wax paper and wet tea towel was spot on. Thank you for your detailed instructions!

They turned out perfect!! I was nervous about using such a delicate dough but it was just tough enough to handle.

I used butter flavoured cooking spray instead of butter and it was quick enough I didn’t need to cover the dough and it made 4 dozen beautiful mini phyllo cups.

Thank you for the great recipe!!!!!
