These festive bites strike the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and tangy flavors. With juicy pomegranate seeds, creamy feta, and a crisp base, they’re elegant, effortless, and ideal for holiday gatherings. Each bite bursts with flavor and adds a vibrant touch to your party table.

 Ingredients

• 12–15 phyllo cups (store-bought or homemade)
  
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  
• ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
  
• 1 tbsp honey
  
• ¼ tsp black pepper
  
• ¼ cup fresh pomegranate seeds
  
• Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (for garnish)
  
• Optional: chopped pistachios or walnuts for crunch
  

 Instructions

Step 1: Make the Filling

In a small bowl, combine feta, cream cheese, honey, and black pepper. Mix until creamy but still slightly chunky.

Step 2: Fill the Cups

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the mixture into each phyllo cup.

Step 3: Garnish

Top with pomegranate seeds, a sprinkle of chopped mint, and nuts if using.

Step 4: Serve

Arrange on a platter and serve immediately. Can be made 1–2 hours ahead and kept chilled.

 Pro Tips

• For a sweeter twist, drizzle a touch of honey over the top just before serving.
  
• These also work well on mini crackers or cucumber rounds for a no-bake version.
  
• You can prep the filling ahead and assemble just before guests arrive.
