Phyllo pastry appetizers/9 recipes

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.

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.

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

Easy Hamburger Quiche recipe

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.

Absolutely delicious. First time I made an eggplant dip, and it was surprisingly tasty. The mixture of roasted bell peppers, eggplants, feta cheese, garlic and onion was so yummy and flavorful.

The classic German dessert, buttery and rich with apples, raisins and almonds.

Mini-mushroom and cheese stuffed tartlettes, perfect for finger food as a snack for guests or just to treat yourself. Using prepared wonton wraps makes it quick and easy to create a fancy look that tastes great.

Phyllo pastry gives the tart super crispy texture, feta cheese and juicy tomatoes are absolutely a delicious combo. Serve with some fresh basil leaves on top to add a final refreshing touch.

As I do not own a bread machine, I adapted this recipe to make in my KitchenAid stand mixer using the dough hook. I kept the igredients basically the same, with the exception of adding 1 1/2 Tbs. honey. I baked it in a 9" x 5" loaf pan.
