Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, basil, mini mozzarella balls, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Stir gently to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning to taste.
-
Spoon equal portions of the tomato mixture into each mini phyllo shell.
-
Drizzle each filled phyllo cup with balsamic glaze.

Serve immediately to keep the shells crisp.
Notes
Garnish with a small fresh basil leaf for an attractive finish.
Use flavored olive oil (garlic or basil-infused) for enhanced flavor.
Substitute balsamic glaze with honey for a sweet contrast.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato mix for heat.
Use gluten-free phyllo shells for a gluten-free version.
Prepare tomato mixture up to 1 day ahead, but fill shells just before serving.
