A cute and simple idea to serve at a party, as an appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 phyllo dough sheets
- 10.5 oz (300 g) cottage cheese
- 3.5 oz (100 g) feta cheese
- 2 eggs
- 8.8 oz (250 g) swiss chard

Instructions
- Lightly grease muffin pans.
- Take phyllo sheets and cut them into 3.9 inch by 3.9 inch (10 x 10 cm) squares. Stack 5 squares onto each other, brush each with melted butter or vegetable oil. Put stacked squares into muffin pans so that they form baskets.
- Combine eggs with salt and pepper, add feta and cottage cheese. Boil swiss chard for several minutes, drain well, chop and add to the filling. Fill phyllo dough baskets with this and bake for about 30 minutes at 392 F (200 Celsius).
