Ingredients
  

  • 1 tray Kontos mini fillo cups
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, or thyme
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs 1 per cup
  • Balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare the fillo cups: Arrange the fillo cups on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake: Place the sheet in the oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cups are lightly browned and crispy. Keep an eye on them — they brown quickly!
  • Make the filling: While the cups are baking, combine the ricotta and herbs in a mixing bowl. Stir until well blended and smooth.
  • Prepare to pipe: Transfer the ricotta mixture to a piping bag (or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off).
  • Cool the cups: Remove the fillo cups from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  • Fill: Pipe the herbed ricotta mixture into each cooled fillo cup.
  • Top: Place one grape tomato half on each cup.
  • Garnish: Add a small sprig of rosemary to each.
  • Finish: Drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze just before serving.
