Description

These Halloween Cheese Cups are adorable and delicious mini appetizers perfect for spooky celebrations. Mini fillo shells are filled with a flavorful mixture of cheddar cheese, tomatoes, garlic, dill, and mayo, then topped with cute ‘monster eyes’ made from mozzarella-stuffed olives. They’re easy to prepare, require no cooking, and add a fun festive touch to any Halloween party.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (juice squeezed out)
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp chopped dill
  • 2 tbsp mayo

Assembly

  • 15 mini fillo shells
  • 30 black olives, pitted
  • 1 slice mozzarella cheese
  • Finely shredded Cheddar to garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded Cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes with the juice squeezed out, minced garlic cloves, chopped dill, and mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set the mixture aside.
  2. Stuff the olives: Cut the slice of mozzarella cheese into small pieces suitable for stuffing. Fill each pitted black olive with a piece of mozzarella to create the ‘eyes’ for the cheese cups.
  3. Assemble the cheese cups: When ready to serve, spoon a small amount of the cheese and tomato filling into each mini fillo shell. Sprinkle some finely shredded Cheddar cheese over the top for extra flavor and garnish. Place two mozzarella-stuffed olives on each filled shell to resemble monster eyes.

Notes

  • Mini fillo shells are readily available at most grocery stores and serve as the perfect crispy base for these cheesy appetizers.
  • Make sure to squeeze out the tomato juice to prevent the filling from becoming too watery.
  • This recipe requires no cooking and can be prepared ahead of time, then assembled just before serving.
  • These cheese cups make a fun and festive addition to any Halloween party or spooky gathering.
