I am learning different pastry variety and made the phyllo dough. With phyllo dough i tried some spicy breakfast recipe. I am using eggs for the filling. If you like you can add meat of your choice along with eggs. I added Indian spices to create the fusion of Indian and Mid Eastern Cuisine. Hope you like it.

Ingredients Needed:

3 Tablespoon butter, melted
2 Garlic cloves, minced
3 phyllo sheets, thawed
3 Tablespoon grated Cheddar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon Chilli powder
1/2 teaspoon Curry masala powder
A pinch Turmeric powder
Salt and Pepper
Basil leaves

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 190 degree C (375 degree F). Grease muffin tray.

In a cup, combine melted butter and minced garlic.
On a cutting board, stack 3 phyllo sheets and cut into squares.
Since i had 6 cup muffin tray i cut 6 squares.

Cover rest of of the phyllo sheets with a damp paper towel or cloth when not using it because it dries out quickly.

Step 2: Methods

Method 1 : Brush butter between each square phyllo of 3 layers and transfer it to muffin trays.

Method 2 : Press 1 phyllo into the muffin cup and brush with butter. Add another layer of phyllo and brush with butter and repeat third time.

I find method 1 easy as the tear or breakage of phyllo is less. Also don't worry if phyllo tears.

Sprinkle cheese on the phyllo cups.
Bake for 15 minutes or until phyllo crust turns slightly golden.
Carefully remove phyllo baskets and cool it on wire rack.

Step 3: Prepare Scrambled Eggs for Filling

While phyllo basket is baking, prepare for the filling.
In a cup beat eggs and add pepper, salt, turmeric, curry masala and chilli powder.
Mix well, Melt butter in a pan and add the beaten eggs.
Scramble eggs to desired doneness.
Add the basil leaves.
