Lustful Bacon Bites

I have yet to meet someone that eats meat but doesn't enjoy the taste of smokey, savoury, flavourful bacon, either in their crunchy or chewy form.  Now imagine a phyllo cup appetizer filled with bacon, veggies and cheese...

All you need are as follows: (makes 12)

8 slices bacon finely chopped

1 tomato finely chopped

½ red onion finely chopped

3 stalks of green onions finely chopped

1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

⅛ cup sour cream

½ tsp granulated garlic

5 half sheets of phyllo pastry

Melted butter

Directions

Finely chop green onions, tomatoes and red onions:

Put the cooked bacon in a bowl or plate lined with paper towels to soak up the oil.  After 10 minutes, move them to a bowl:

Brush melted butter onto each layer of pastry, flip over to make a pile (on the right):

Once all 5 sheets are nicely buttered, cut them:

Into 12 pieces:

Butter the muffin tin and place each sheet of phyllo wrap onto the muffin cup, shaping and fanning each sheet out as you go.

Brush more butter onto the finished "cup".  Make sure butter is applied to ALL of the phyllo pastry.  This makes the pastry turn a nice golden colour once baked.

Once the cups are assembled:

Fill them with stuffing.  Bake them at 375F for 10 to 12 minutes:
