If you’ve ever had yummy Greek treats like spinach pie or baklava then you know that infamous tissue-thin, light as a feather, melt in your mouth crunchy goodness is phyllo dough! The layered crunch comes from being brushed with oil or butter and then baked into light, flaky pastries. Growing up, I remember my mom using phyllo dough to make huge cheese and spinach pies that were never fully eaten and then later stored in the freezer for months. Over the years I’ve learned to incorporate my own twist on a nice family tradition but also scale it down a bit. These tiny Feta Stuffed Phyllo Bites are the perfect finger food for any party or gathering and a bonus…they’ll be gone so fast that there will be no reason to search for matching storage containers or make room in the freezer!

I picked up my phyllo dough shells in the freezer section at Publix. They’re fully baked shells, ready to fill, warm, and serve. You can also find them in sheets, which I’ve used to make a spinach pie.
