Appetizers don't get any easier than this. Canned diced tomatoes and cheese in a savory mini fillo cup. It's easy and healthy, too!
Feel free to substitute fresh Roma tomatoes for the canned ones in this appetizer recipe. It'll only add a few minutes to the preparation.
You can find mini fillo cups in the frozen foods section of your grocery store near the phyllo dough.
Be sure to make a lot of these mini tarts. It's one of the quickest holiday recipes you'll ever make, and your guests will scarf them down while they're waiting for the main course.
