Athens Mini Fillo Shells.
The Athens Mini Fillo Shells used in this recipe can be found in the frozen section of your grocery store. I love to use them because they are already baked, making them really easy to use in any recipe.
Serving Sizes and MyWW points.
You will get 30 Phyllo Cheeseburger Cups out of this recipe. We ate these for dinner, and my family all agreed that eating 5 of these was enough for one person for dinner. For our purposes, I am assuming that you are eating 5 of these, in which case this recipe would give you six servings. Five of these Phyllo Cheeseburger Cups are just 3 MyWW points on the blue and purple plans or 4 on the green plan! Isn’t that great?
Since the math doesn’t equal out to 1 phyllo cup being exactly 1 MyWW point, and because not everyone will be eating five of these, I am including this little list for reference:
MyWW Points according to how many Phyllo Cheeseburger Cups you eat…
1 Phyllo cup = 1 MyWW on green/blue/purple plans
2 Phyllo cups = 1 MyWW on blue/purple plans, and 2 MyWW on green plan
3 Phyllo cups = 2 MyWW on blue/purple plans, and 3 MyWW on green plan
4 Phyllo cups = 3 MyWW on green/blue/purple plans
5 Phyllo cups = 3 MyWW on blue/purple plans, and 4 MyWW on green plan
6 Phyllo cups = 4 MyWW on blue/purple plans, and 6 MyWW on green plan
7 Phyllo cups = 5 MyWW on blue/purple plans, and 6 MyWW on green plan
8 Phyllo cups = 5 MyWW on blue/purple plans, and 7 MyWW on green plan
9 Phyllo cups = 6 MyWW on blue/purple plans, and 8 MyWW on green plan
10 Phyllo cups = 7 MyWW on blue/purple plans, and 9 MyWW on green plan
So, the question is how many will you eat? 2? 3? 5? Make the recipe work for you and your appetite.
