App Happy!
Yes, I LOVE iPhone and iPad photo editing apps, but I also LOVE appetizers… You know, appetizers… “apps!” 😉
Do you use Athens Fillo (phyllo) mini shells to create apps and desserts? I do! They’re sold in the freezer section at the grocery store, usually near pie crusts. This particular app recipe quickly became a favorite!! (There are A LOT more recipes on the Athens site for appetizers and desserts, too!)
Ever had a bacon, cheese, and tomato sandwich with mayo? Well, the flavor profile of this is similar, just amped up!
Important note: you’ll need at least TWO packages of the Athens “Fillo” Mini Shells, or THREE, if you don’t want your shells as full.
Easy, recipe:
2-3 pkgs of Athens Fillo mini shells
1 can of Hot Rotel (tomatoes and peppers)
3/4 cup of real Mayo
2.5 cups of shredded cheese blend (Cheddar, Colby, Monterey Jack, etc)
1 pkg of bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
Preheat oven to 350F. Mix all ingredients and fill shells. Bake 10-15 minutes (until bubbly.) Enjoy!!
