In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, tomato, carrot and olives. Fold in the crab meat. Season with Creole seasoning, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter with oil. Lightly brush 3” tart pans with butter-oil mixture. Layer 5 phyllo sheets, brushing each with the butter-oil mixture. Cut four, 4-inch squares from phyllo stack. Place phyllo squares in the pan.
