Roasted Tomato and Feta Cheese Mini Tarts
We had friends over to watch the Olympic Opening Ceremonies on Friday night, and served a smorgasbord-style dinner instead of a sit-down dinner. I made this easy roasted tomato and feta cheese mini tarts recipe, which turned out to be a hit with adults and kids alike! I loved the salty cheese, sweet tomato, tangy balsamic vinegar, and the flaky phyllo tart shell. This easy appetizer will be one I serve again!
Roasted Tomato and Feta Cheese Mini Tarts
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 15 cherry tomatoes
- Dried basil, to taste
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, to taste
- 15 mini phyllo shells
- Feta cheese, crumbles, to taste
How to Make Roasted Tomato and Feta Cheese Mini Tarts:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the tomatoes and olive oil in a large baking dish, season with dried basil, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper to taste, then toss to coat.
Place into the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with the balsamic vinegar, and gently shake to coat. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, place the phyllo cups on a baking sheet.
Add a heaping teaspoon of feta cheese into each phyllo cup, then place in the oven and bake for 5-6 minutes.
Remove the cups from the oven and place a tomato in each phyllo cup.
Drizzle the remaining balsamic vinegar (from the bottom of the baking dish) over each tomato, if desired.
Serve immediately. Enjoy.

Great little appetizer!
I love appetizers and cherry tomatoes are my favorite, they get even sweeter…..I also love the asparagus wrapped with prosciutto, it's great on top of a salad. My mouth is watering!
They look SO good..I want some right now! I didn't even know they sell phyllo shells (well, I've never baked with phyllo before). My Vons better have some or else…I'll pout.
I've got to find these little tarts shells – you have such great recipes with them!
