Ingredients

  • For the pastry cups

  • 24 mini phyllo cups, pre-made (frozen)

  • For the roasted tomatoes

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

  • Olive oil

  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • Fresh thyme, finely chopped

  • For the crema

  • 1 Hass avocado

  • ¼ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup chives, snipped

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • Kosher salt to taste

Directions

  • For the pastry cups, bake phyllo cups per box instructions for unfilled cups.
  • For the roasted tomatoes, preheat oven to 250 degrees. Drizzle tomatoes with olive oil then sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic and thyme. Bake 30–60 minutes depending on the size of the tomatoes.
  • For the crema, cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit and discard. Remove the avocado from the skin and place it into a food processor.

Add water to thin out the crema and then remove it from the food processor using a spatula. Taste and season with salt as needed.
