Great party food! I could not find the phyllo tart shells so I made my own by cutting up phyllo dough (used four sheets) into small squares and placing them in a miniature muffin pan. They turned out delicious; although, not as attractive as they would have been with the store-bought cups. I will definitely make these again! Thanks for the post. Made for the Everyday is a Holiday tag.

Delicious! I used canned jalapenos (about 2 tbls chopped) and 2 ts of Tabasco - lovely and hot! Thank you for sharing!

I was out of my normal toaster oven/late night snack but happened to have all these ingredients and was wanting to get the tart shells out of my freezer. What an awesome discovery on a random search fr recipes containing tart shells. These were easy (I didn't start assembly until 9:30 at night) and delicious just as written. I wouldn't change a thing. I used Louisiana hot sauce and pre-shredded cheese. I baked them in my toaster oven for the recommended time and enjoyed them with a dr pepper.
