Phyllo Pesto Bites

Little delightful store-bought phyllo shells filled with pesto, cheese, and baked to a perfect golden brown.  

These appetizers are flaky and cheesy with fresh bursts of pesto throughout. They go so quickly in my home and are a favorite to make for parties or holidays. Plus, they take 10 minutes to bake, you just can’t beat that! 

Look at these beauties!
