Phyllo pastry appetizers/6 recipes

No need for Cinnabon chain when you can make these at home!

It's the season of Swiss chard and kale. We got lots of these fresh leafy greens from our CSA farm, and I was trying to come out an idea to use them up, surfing the internet, found a recipe in New York Times, it's a chard and feta phyllo tart. Definitely got the inspiration, I used both chard and kale, instead of feta, I used cheddar; and I sauteed some fresh mushrooms and added some toasted pine nuts, which worked very well. Also, I used a pie plate instead of a tart pan, and it was a great success, absolutely flavorful and delicious. The phyllo crust came out flaky and crispy. Have definitely become one of my signature recipes :)

Yesterday I brought these cookies to my husband's friend's bonfire, they disappeared quickly. Everyone loved them. Tahini actually tasted delicious in these cookies! Will be making these sweets again.

Cheesy, juicy and delicious! Black bean, corn and salsa are a flavorful combination, melted cheese inside and outside adds extra oozy cheesiness.

A decadent scalloped potato pie. Buttery and flakey puff pastry, cheesy, juicy and tender potatoes. You just can't have enough of it.

we didn't use up the whole filling from Greek croustade, then we used the leftover filling and made some phyllo muffins, they came out so cute, delicate and delicious. Being creative!

Initial testing looks positive. A tasty chocolate cookie that is both low fat and low calorie.

So quick and easy. Not really Danish pastry, but good in a pinch.

Baby brie wedge is just perfect for entertaining! The warm, creamy brie combines just perfectly with the crisp, buttery dough.

A delicious way to enjoy cherry tomatoes. We have lots of cherry tomatoes growing at our backyard, they are juicy, sweet and screaming the ripeness to us. This recipe is a perfect fit, simple ingredients, easy to make, and it tastes absolutely delicious.

You can use any vegetable as you wish, the pastry is made with whole wheat flour, low fat milk and a little bit butter or olive oil. It is a much healthier way to enjoy a pot pie!

Light and fluffy classic French pastry, to make cream puffs, eclairs sweets and savory dishes too. A timeless classic pastry recipe everyone should be familiar with.

Impressive and tasty, perfect for brunch and hearty enough to serve for dinner.

With the convenience of your crockpot, you can make these succulent meatballs that can be served alone or with any kind of pasta.

This Greek-style spinach pie was absolutely delicious! The cheese mixture of ricotta and feta was moist and cheesy, which gave the pie lots of flavors; sauteed mushrooms, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes were a great combination. The phyllo came out golden brown and crispy. This pie can be served as a lighter main dish or an elegant appetizer.
