Filo appetizers can be made using sheets of phyllo dough, rolled into logs or used to make pies. Premade filo cups can also be filled with various ingredients and baked. These appetizers can be customized with different fillings and served as elegant hors d’oeuvres or finger foods.
While there are many different variations of filo appetizers that anyone can make, a few particular types are common and easy to customize. Laminates using sheets of phyllo dough are simple enough to make and can include just about any type of filling, from vegetables to meat and cheese combinations. Pies can also be made using phyllo dough, and while large pies can work well as main courses, appetizers can be created by making pies in smaller dishes or ramekins. There are also a number of filo appetizers that can be created using premade filo cups, typically by filling the cups with different ingredients and baking them.
Some of the simplest and most common types of filo appetizers are those made by rolling filo dough into a log. This is typically done by first rolling out sheets of phyllo dough, which is an extremely thin pastry made similar to puff pastry. Various ingredients are added to this dough to create a filling for the roll. This filling can include any combination of flavors that someone likes. Filo dough is rolled around the filling, baked, and then sliced across the roll to create circular filo starters.
Filo dough can also be used to make pies, usually using several sheets of filo to create the crust, and small pies can make great filo appetizers. This is typically done using small plates or stencils, on the bottom of which several pieces of wire may be layered. Different types of fillings can therefore be used in these pies, including both savory and sweet fillings to create different types of filo appetizers. The cakes are then covered with more string, or left open, and baked before being served as rather elegant hors d’oeuvres.
There are also several ways that filo starters can be made using premade filo cups. These cups are made with phyllo dough and are often available in grocery stores, usually frozen and shaped into small cups. Different types of fillings can then be placed in the cups, including different types of meats, cheeses, vegetables, nuts and fruits. The cups are then placed in an oven to cook until the ingredients are heated through and the cups are cooked to a light golden brown, at which point these flushed appetizers can be served as finger foods.
