Crispy, golden, and effortlessly delicious—these savory morsels might just change the way you think about (and handle) phyllo. Filled with ooey-gooey Camembert and umami-packed mushrooms - they hit the spot.
A crispy, golden phyllo package filled with creamy Camembert, earthy mushrooms, and sweet onions—warm, satisfying, and effortlessly thrown together. And honestly? Thanks to the muffin tin, it’s easier to plate, prettier to serve than a traditional phyllo dish, and thanks to the phyllo itself, I’d argue it’s far lighter (and easier) than your average pot pie. Plus, the filling? Works with whatever you’ve got on hand. This might just be your new favorite recipe.
Makes 6 pies
If you double the ingredients, you'll get 12 pies (one full muffin tin).
Filling:
200 g cremini or brown mushrooms, chopped
200 g oyster mushrooms, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
125 g Camembert (or blue cheese), crumbled or finely sliced
Seasoning:
15 ml (1 tbsp) wine vinegar
15 ml (1 tbsp) soy sauce
10 ml (2 tsp) miso paste
Salt & pepper, to taste
For Assembly:
Olive oil (for sautéing and brushing phyllo)
6–8 sheets of phyllo pastry (half a pack), each cut into 6–8 strips.
Leftovers can be stored in a paper towel-lined Tupperware once cooled. The paper towel helps absorb excess oil and moisture. Keep refrigerated.
Light, crispy phyllo and a rich filling – a combination that always delivers. Easy to prepare yet full of flavor – perfect for any occasion: brunch, lunch, dinner, or simply as a snack. That said, it's hard to stop at just one.
