| Yield: | 8 servings of 2 appetizers each |
Ingredients
- 8 sheets phyllo dough (based on 18 by 14-inch sheets which are often sold in packs of 18 to 20)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 lobster tails, poached and finely chopped
- 1 small wheel (about 8-ounces) brie cheese, cut into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. If phyllo was frozen, make sure it is completely defrosted before handling it. Once removed from package, you will need to cover phyllo with waxed paper and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Lay out each dough sheet and brush on butter. Fold in half, brush again, fold in half, cut in half. (Each dough sheet should yield 2 rectangles, roughly 4 by 4 inches, so you will have 16 squares.) In mixing bowl, combine lobster, cheese, parsley and chives and season with salt and pepper. Place mixture on each square of dough. Bring up corners into smaller square packet and brush more butter on top. Bake in oven until golden brown.

Reviews
These were great! I will make these again and again.
Delicious! I might use less butter next time. They came out more soggy than crispy. Or maybe bake it on a roasting pan so the butter drains. Even soggy they were delicious!
I have made this recipe on a couplle of occasions and always got rave reviews! I recently made it for a large 4th of July outing – I substituded the Phyllo cups for the dough. This allowed me to make 50 appetizers from a double recipe. They lasted 10 minutes!
I thought this was a great recipe, very easy and delicious results. I did not have lobster available, so substituted crab and added some drained and chopped roasted red peppers.
