Ingredients

  1. One 10-ounce bag frozen or fresh cranberries
  2. 1/4 cup sugar
  3. 1/2 teaspoon orange zest plus 1/4 cup orange juice
  4. 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  5. 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
  6. 48 frozen prebaked phyllo cups or hors d’oeuvre cups
  7. 2 tablespoons chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Mix the cranberries, sugar and orange zest and juice in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook until the cranberries soften and start to burst, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Combine the cream cheese and Gruyere in a large bowl with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until smooth.
  4. Place the phyllo cups on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cranberry sauce into each cup. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture on top of the cranberry sauce. Bake until the cups are crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbling, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with chives before serving.

How much in advance of serving can I make the cranberry cups?
Jessica Reyes
Do you put the filling into FROZEN phyllo cups?  Or do you defrost the phyllo first?
Robert Perry

I made these for a church event and they were a hit. Gone in minute and everyone wanted the recipe.

I made these for a Christmas party and they were a hit.  I have a Wolf oven and I  think the temperature is too high in the recipe.  I would set the oven to 350.  Everything else was perfect!
Cathy Miller
