Prepare the Filling:

Mix the Cheese

In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese (if using), and honey. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Season

Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix in the fresh thyme leaves if using.

Assemble the Bites:

Prepare the Phyllo Cups

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the phyllo cups on a baking sheet.

Fill the Phyllo Cups

Spoon a generous teaspoon of the goat cheese mixture into each phyllo cup, spreading it out gently to cover the bottom.

Add the Figs

Top the cheese mixture with one or two fig slices, depending on their size. You want the figs to be slightly visible on top of the cheese.

Brush with Olive Oil

Lightly brush the edges of the phyllo cups with olive oil to ensure they bake to a golden, crispy texture.

Bake the Bites:

Bake

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the phyllo cups are golden and crispy and the goat cheese filling is slightly browned.

Cool and Serve

Remove the bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, drizzle with a little more honey or sprinkle with additional fresh thyme leaves.
