Prepping by chopping some boneless ham before hand, using shredded cheese and frozen phyllo shells is the trick to being able to whip up a fresh batch of these easy appetizers in a flash. These appetizers are a great way to use up leftover holiday ham.
If you really want to speed up making these, you could mix the filling a few hours beforehand, and just fill the shells while your oven is preheating. I wouldn't fill the shells before hand though, they would most likely get rather soggy, ruining the "toast-like" crispness of the phyllo.

Made this today . . . and it was delicious! I added some spinach and used a sharp New Zealand white cheddar. It was fast, easy and tasty! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Can I use regular milk instead of the heavy cream? I just got back from the store and totally forgot the cream. Also the only phyllo shells I could find are mini, is the recipe still the same?
Robin Gagnon says
I think the cups I used may actually have been mini, although not labeled that way. As far as swapping out the milk it should not be an issue at all, the cream just adds a little more richness.
