PHYLLO CREAM CHEESE LOBSTER APPETIZER

By á-46

Ingredients

• lobster, freshly cooked bacon, cream cheese, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, horseradish, mayo and Worcestershire sauce.

Preparation

Step 1

I place the cream cheese and mayo in a medium saucepan and set the heat on medium/low. I let the mixture melt while I stir in some mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce and horseradish. Finally, I let it cook, stirring every few minutes to help it melt.

Next, I cut up my lobster and shred some sharp cheddar and Colby cheese. I also take out sherry and white wine. As it turns out, I decided to only use the sherry because lobster pairs so well with it.

This phyllo cream cheese lobster appetizer recipe is mouth-wateringly delicious! Seriously, it’s little bites of scrumptious, creamy lobster goodness in a flaky cup!

Are you an appetizer type of person? What I mean by that is, could you make a meal out of eating only appetizers? Or are you a person who could be satisfied eating a few bites of appetizer but who would never make a meal of them?

I’m an appetizer type of gal. But I prefer an assortment to nosh from.

Here are some of the appetizers I could eat as my meal:

Bacon wrapped scallops
Scallop stuffed mushrooms
Bourbon meatballs
Yum. Just thinking about them makes me start drooling.

What is your favorite appetizer to eat? Leave me a comment as I’d love to know!

Usually I blog recipes that I’ve made 3 zillion times or I blog about a recipe that I test a few times before I deem it good enough to publish for my readers!

Well, this is the first time I’ve made this one. The reason I didn’t test it before posting it is because it’s based on another of my recipes that’s tried and true. I modified my warm crab dip recipe for this phyllo cream cheese lobster appetizer so that it’s different and still delicious!!

Aren’t I clever?!

Someday soon I’m going to republish my warm crab dip with updated photos. It is such a delicious appetizer that it deserves better photography and more eyeballs! Stay tuned.

FINALLY, LOBSTER MEAT
When the grocery store where I shop changed hands last year, I was suddenly not able to buy frozen lobster meat. Until now! Yay!! It’s finally back.

So above, we have lobster, freshly cooked bacon, cream cheese, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, horseradish, mayo and Worcestershire sauce.

Let’s get started.

I place the cream cheese and mayo in a medium saucepan and set the heat on medium/low. I let the mixture melt while I stir in some mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce and horseradish. Finally, I let it cook, stirring every few minutes to help it melt.

Next, I cut up my lobster and shred some sharp cheddar and Colby cheese. I also take out sherry and white wine. As it turns out, I decided to only use the sherry because lobster pairs so well with it.

Once the cream cheese mixture has melted and combined, I place the lobster, bacon and cheese in it and stand there stirring the mixture together.

I preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and start to fill the phyllo cups with the lobster cream cheese mixture. I dollop some in each cup. You can overfill them a tad without worrying that the mixture will bubble off onto the jelly roll pan.

CUTE LITTLE PHYLLO CUPS
These phyllo cups are so awesome. I love to use them. They are fairly inexpensive and come in little boxes with 15 cups. If I were having a party, I’d double this batch and buy 30 cups, but since it was just Christopher and I, one box was enough.

I pop the lobster appetizer in the oven and set the timer for 10 minutes.

One thing I love about phyllo cups is that they always stay crispy. They are precooked so you can eat them straight out of the freezer if you’re filling them with something you don’t have to bake and as expected, they’re crispy. But even after filling them with the wet lobster cream cheese mixture and baking them, which I thought might make them soften, they stayed crispy.

They were crispy little critters. Soooooo good.

Ding!

PHYLLO CREAM CHEESE LOBSTER APPETIZER IS DONE
I plate the lobster appetizer and gather some other easy appetizers like chips and salsa and the lobster cream cheese mixture I couldn’t fit in the phyllo cups. You will notice it in the little glass bowl.

That’s the beauty of this recipe: it yields extra lobster mixture that you can eat by the spoonful, dip your chips into or slather over a bagel, bread or crackers.
