Crab-Stuffed Mini Phyllo Cups

These tiny cups are impressive without being complicated — you buy the pre-made mini phyllo shells and just fill them. The crab filling is creamy and has a little Old Bay kick that tastes genuinely special. They're best served within an hour of filling so the shells stay crisp.
