Make the phyllo cups.

• Preheat the oven to 170°C / 340°F
• Stack four phyllo sheets. Brush a little melted butter all over the sheets. With a sharp knife, cut a square through all four sheets of approximately 10 cm x 10 cm in size.
• Pick up one square sheet. Tip your finger in the melted butter. Gently rub the phyllo all over with butter.
• Tuck the phyllo square inside a muffin cup. Repeat the method with the rest three phyllo squares, stacking hem inside the muffin cup and creating a nest. You can be creative and stack each phyllo diagonally to create fun whimsical shapes.
• Repeat the process to fill the rest of the muffin tin cups.
• Bake for 6-7 minutes until the cups are golden and crispy.

  Remove them from the tin as soon as they are done and let them cool.

  Repeat the whole process to make a total of 24 phyllo cups.
