Step 4Grease mini-muffin pans with melted butter.

Step 5When working with phyllo dough, keep a damp towel on hand to keep it from drying out when you aren’t working with it. Remove phyllo from package and stack up. Carefully cut dough into squares. Place 3-4 squares of phyllo into each mini cup, shaping gently into a cup. Carefully brush wells with butter, repeat with remaining dough.

Step 6Place a heaping teaspoon into each well, filling the cup. Bake in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan. Serve.
