Spring Herb Cream Cheese Appetizer Cups

These spring herb cream cheese appetizer cups scream spring and are straightforward to mix – they come together in minutes and are a stunning addition to any appetizer spread.

It seems like spring is the season for baby showers and wedding showers, doesn’t it? We're always looking for speedy and straightforward appetizer ideas that will please a wide range of people and keep our time in the kitchen short.

These spring herb cream cheese appetizer cups are the reliable thing. We adore using phyllo cups for speedy and straightforward appetizers like these straightforward spinach artichoke phyllo bites.

What stands out

• Last-minute appetizer: We love keeping a package of phyllo cups in our freezer for those times when we need something in a pinch.
• Topping flexibility: We top these little wonders with some of our favorite go-to vegetables and fresh dill and they are ready to go! We use radish, cucumber, and tomato slices but you could also top them with chopped bell pepper, sugar peas, broccoli, blanched asparagus slices, and so on. Whatever you like!

What goes in

These cream cheese appetizer cups use spreadable chive and onion cream cheese. This is a beautiful thing for two reasons.

1. No need to soften a brick of cream cheese. When you are looking for a speedy appetizer idea, you don’t want to have to remember to soften cream cheese hours in advance.
2. Instant flavor! The cream cheese already has great flavor from the chive and onions and all you need to add are a couple fresh herbs to brighten it up and add some depth.

We stir in sour cream to mellow the flavor out a little and also thin it down a bit more.
