Tips
- To make these in advance: pre-bake your phyllo cups to get them extra crispy before filling. This will keep your cups as crispy as possible for as long as possible. Bake them at 350°F for 3-5 minutes until lightly browned. Then, let cool before filling them. The cups should stay crispy for at least 2 hours with filling inside.
- For the balsamic glaze, you can make your own using balsamic vinegar and sugar or simply use a premade balsamic glaze from your local store.
