story by Laura Ubaldino
INGREDIENTS:
- 30–45 store-bought phyllo cups
- 2 cups goat cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup finely chopped herbs (parsley, chives, thyme)
- 3–4 yellow onions (preferably Vidalia)
- Fig jam
- Salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Filling:
Mix the following ingredients in a bowl:
- 2 cups goat cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup finely chopped herbs (parsley, chives, thyme)
- Add salt and pepper to taste
For Topping:
- 3–4 yellow onions (preferably Vidalia): Slice the onions thinly. A mandoline is helpful with keeping the size of slices consistent.
- Sauté the onions in 2 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook the onions down until they brown and caramelize. Add 1 tablespoon of honey to help the caramelization process.
- Add salt and pepper to taste
Building the G.O.A.T. Cup appetizer:
Place goat cheese mixture in a piping bag fitted with a star tip or round tip. Fill the phyllo cups 3/4 of the way with the goat cheese mixture. Next, using a small fork pile some caramelized onions on top of the goat cheese mixture. Last, using a small spoon, place a dab of fig jam on top of the caramelized onions. Bake the filled phyllo cups at 350ºF for 12–15 minutes. Plate the G.O.A.T. Cups on a platter and let them sit for a minute or two before serving. Enjoy!
