Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, chives, smoked salmon, capers, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

    Fill the Phyllo Cups

    Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture into each mini phyllo cup, filling them generously.

  3. 3

    Garnish with Tomatoes and Basil

    Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place one half on top of each filled phyllo cup. Add a basil leaf for garnish.

  4. 4

    Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze

    Finish off by drizzling balsamic glaze over the tops of the appetizers for added flavor.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the filled phyllo cups for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
