Description
These Honey Garlic Mississippi Lil’ Smokies Party Cups are a delightful bite-sized appetizer, perfect for any gathering. The sweet and savory honey garlic glaze brings new life to the classic Lil’ Smokies, encased in crispy phyllo pastry cups for an irresistible treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14 oz) Lil’ Smokies sausages
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package (12 count) mini phyllo pastry cups
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the Lil’ Smokies to the saucepan and stir to coat them in the honey garlic glaze. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the sausages to absorb the flavors.
- While the sausages are cooking, arrange the mini phyllo pastry cups on a baking sheet.
- Once the Lil’ Smokies are ready, spoon a few sausages into each pastry cup, drizzling extra glaze over the top.
- Bake the filled pastry cups in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cups are golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to keep an eye on the glaze to avoid burning the honey.
- Phyllo cups can get soggy if left too long, so fill them just before baking.
- You can prepare the glaze ahead of time and store it in the fridge for easy assembly before guests arrive.
