I’m confused.. In the video it looks like 4 oz of cream cheese was put in the bowl but recipe calls for 8oz. which is it?
Delish spread on a toasted English muffin!
I made these for a small dinner party. Used a little heavy cream to soften because I didn’t have cream fresh…They were amazing .
Looked impressive but so simple.

Will try but thinking a hard boiled egg shell as a filling.
What a tasty, easy to make and beautiful appetizer. I made them for a wine party and they looked so elegant while they lasted which wasn’t very long as guests devoured them quickly. The only change I made to the recipe was doubling the amount of salmon. The fresh dill and chives really made the great.
My daughter and I had a lovely tea-less party using a couple of the recipes from this episode and this recipe did not disappoint! My daughter said her least favorite part of the recipe was the phyllo cup itself. You can just this recipe as a spread on crackers and skip the expense and steps with the phyllo cups. Super yummy and have already made again.
Fantastic! I also made it the night before a graduation party and the flavors really bloomed. Instead of the filo cups, I piped the filling on top of a thicker slice of English cucumber. Many requests for the recipe. Thanks
This recipe was a huge hit at a baby shower brunch. I made the filling the night before the shower and thought it tasted better after the flavors had a chance to blend together overnight.
