Phyllo Cups With Caramelized Onion Hors D'oeuvres image

We made these tarts, filled with a savory and onion saute, from various different recipes here on zaar and the testing and tasting was the good part! These were served at the Inauguration of our new North Wing, on May 11, here at the home and now we are going to serve them at the opening of 3 extra dining rooms -- what fun and how nice!

3/4 cup chopped fresh button mushroom

2 tablespoons chopped black olives

Repeat the process with remaining phyllo cups.

I always get requests for this recipe. It comes from the book The Pleasure of Your Processor, with a few minor changes. Really delicious.

Time 1h

Yield 25 squares

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 lb phyllo dough
3/4 cup melted butter
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 lb dry curd cottage cheese or 1/2 lb ricotta cheese
1 -2 egg
salt
pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

Place half the filo dough in a pan.
Pour about 1/4 cup margarine on top.
Filling: Saute onions in melted butter until golden (about 5 to 10 minutes).
Cook spinach according to package directions.
Drain well.
Squeeze out all moisture from spinach.
Process spinach until finely chopped, about 8 to 10 seconds.
Add onions and remaining ingredients and process just until mixed.
(Add second egg only if mixture seems dry).
Pour filling over first half of filo dough and cover with remaining filo dough.
Pour remaining butter on top of filo dough (add more if necessary), and then cut in squares so that, while cooking the butter will penetrate in between the layers of dough.
Bake in a 300 degree oven for 30 minutes, until top is golden brown.

Tips:

Prep your filo pastry: Thaw frozen filo pastry in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for 1 hour before using. Unroll the pastry and cover it with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
Use melted butter: Brush each sheet of filo pastry with melted butter before assembling your hors d'oeuvres. This will help the pastry to crisp up in the oven and prevent it from becoming dry.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Leave some space between each hors d'oeuvre on the baking sheet so that they have room to expand and cook evenly.
Bake until golden brown: Bake the hors d'oeuvres for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them so that they don't overcook.
Serve immediately: Filo hors d'oeuvres are best served warm, so make sure to serve them as soon as they are out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Filo pastry is a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used to make a variety of hors d'oeuvres. With its light and crispy texture, filo pastry is the perfect base for both savory and sweet fillings. Whether you're looking for an easy appetizer to serve at a party or a special treat to enjoy with friends, filo hors d'oeuvres are sure to please everyone. Get creative and experiment with different fillings and flavors to find your own favorite combinations.
