Phyllo pastry appetizers/8 recipes

Sweet, sour, refreshing and tasty. This is a great dessert that's easy to put together and comes out delicious. Light enough, so you don't have to worry about putting on too many calories, and still satisfies your sweet tooth.

There's not much better than smelling the house filled with the aroma from cinnamon buns. These buns are nearly identical to the buns purchase from the Cinnabon chain of stores.

This easy to make quiche is packed with flavor. Feel free to use low-fat ricotta cheese if you want a lighter result, or use some phyllo sheets to replace the pie crust to make a low-carb quiche.

This wonderful crispy phyllo tart is a great recipe especially for holidays or you have guests, you can use fresh or frozen spinach. The ricotta, feta cheese and sun-dried tomatoes mix with spinach, adding eggs and egg whites, after baking, it is fantastic.

Butter fluffy and light as a feather. Hundreds (700+ actually) layers of butter and flour create this classic and very useful French pastry

This is based on a delicious Paula Deen chicken recipe. It makes a great appetizer and only uses 5 simple ingredients. I found the original recipe way too sweet so have modified it to be a bit less sweet and have added a spicy kick to balance out the sweetness.

With fresh seasonal vegetables and phyllo pastry, these tarts come out beautiful and delicious. We like asparagus and green onions, feel free to use any fresh green vegetables that you have on hand.

There are ground pecans in the shell, there are chopped pecans in the maple-brown sugar filling, and there are maple candied pecans arranged on top. The sweetness comes from both dark brown sugar and maple syrup, and there are some chopped dried cherries and rum added into the filling as well. A classic pecan pie is twisted with a modern way to make it more delicious and appealing, and everyone will give you a big "wow".

Instead of the raisins, this Apple Strudel uses dried cranberries instead. It's also lighter, crispier and easier to make by using phyllo pastry instead of typical thick pastry.

These stuffed zucchini rolls were fantastic! Always want to find some good zucchini recipes, this is definitely the one. So easy to make! Love the juicy, creamy and tasty stuffing, which went perfectly well with chilled zucchini slices. Next time when we have company to come over, definitely will make these rolls again.

Usually I have a certain degree of self control when it comes to my buttery treats. With this lemon cake, however, I will happily consume an entire loaf in a sitting without thinking twice. Do I regret it? NO! Bake it and you will understand. Thank you, Ina.

Low-fat ricotta cheese and goat cheese on top of the phyllo, mixed mushrooms with leeks cooked in white wine, on top of the cheese, delicious...

Fresh strawberries, nutty almond, and crispy phyllo pastry make this delicious tart and it's also very light. An ideal dessert to end the meal.

Ridiculously easy chicken, cheese with a mushroom marinara sauce that tastes great! This is a huge hit in our house, kids love it.

Great way to use up leftover chicken. Filo pastry stuffed with chicken and broccoli cheese in a light cream sauce.

An excellent way to use up leftover chicken or turkey meat. The recipe uses phyllo instead of a carb-dense and high-fat pie crust, which significantly reduces the amount of calories.
