Time 35m

Yield 24 tarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

24 frozen mini phyllo shells
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup frozen spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tips:

  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the spinach by hand.
