Ingredients

18 sheets Phyllo (filo) dough (preferably Athens brand)

1/2 cup Butter, melted

6 Large cloves garlic, tough bottoms cut off

2 tbsp Lemon juice

2 tbsp Water

8 ounces Cream cheese

4 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled

2 Eggs, beaten

1 6-ounce Can crab meat, drained

2 cups Soft bread crumbs, divided

Paprika and cayenne pepper to taste

Directions

SHELL:

Take 3 sheets phyllo at a time, butter and roll up (jelly-roll style). Make 6 rolls

Cut each roll into fourths.

Press cut side down into muffin pan cups (one in each of a 24-cup pan); use fingers to work up slightly onto sides of each cup. Brush cups lightly with remaining melted butter.

FILLING:

Place garlic into a plastic bag and pound with a side of a meat cleaver. Remove skins and place crushed garlic into a deep microwave-safe bowl. Add lemon juice and water. Cover and microwave for 2 minutes. Add garlic to cream cheese and mix together. Beat eggs and add to cream cheese. Add crumbled feta cheese, drained crab meat and 1 cup of soft bread crumbs. Mix all together. Sprinkle about 1/8 tsp of cayenne pepper into mixture. Mix further. Spoon mixture evenly into 24 muffin cups lined with the phyllo dough (use about 1 Tbsp per cup). Lightly dust top of each with paprika.

Bake in 350-degree oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
