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.

How yummy. Mom used to make phyllo cups with sausage (sausage stars) and this sounds like a definite step up. Love all things crabby. Delicious.
