Mini Phyllo Shells

You can find mini phyllo tartlet shells in the freezer section of supermarkets. They are made from phyllo (or filo or fillo) dough and are very crisp. They're already prepared, so all you have to do is let them thaw. They can be filled with just about anything and served as appetizers or dessert.
