* 4 oz. plain goat cheese, room temperature

* 2 Tbl. honey

* ¼ tsp. nutmeg

* 1 tsp. lemon zest

* 2 Tbl. lemon juice

* 1 pear, peeled and chopped to size of peas

* 6 oz blackberries, fresh
* 2 packages of Phyllo dough cups, about 30

Methods/steps

* Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
* Cream the goat cheese, honey, nutmeg, zest, juice, and pear in a small mixing bowl until well combined.
* Spoon a single tablespoon sized amount of the mixture into each Phyllo cup.
* Place one blackberry in the center of each filled cup.
* Place the filled cups on a baking sheet.
* Bake at 350˚F for 8 – 10 minutes, or until the mixture is slightly bubbly and the berries are just about to burst.
* The pears will still be slightly crunchy for texture.

Additional Tips

My original recipe actually used the flat sheets of Phyllo to make mini turnovers. I’ve also made them using puff pastry. I found the prebaked Phyllo cups are the best. Each filled cup is a perfect two bite appetizer that is easy on the eyes. Goat Cheese, Blackberry and Pear Bites.
