I am always on the look out for simple yet exceptionally delicious recipes. Often that means turning to store-bought ingredients to save time without sacrificing flavor. Phyllo dough cups are one such item that I always keep in my freezer to help me create fabulous appetizers with minimal effort. This recipe comes from Family Circle magazine with photography credit going to Romulo Yanes.
Brie cheese and mission figs are an extraordinary combination – one your guests will sure to love. Add a bit of almonds and honey – ooh lah lah!
