Pita Kaisarias in Phyllo Cups

5 from 1 vote

Traditional pita kaisarias is a seductive combination of spicy pasturma, a cured beef seasoned with fenugreek and other spices, tomatoes and mild kasseri cheese all wrapped between flaky layers of buttery phyllo. I've made a quick version of this delicious meze, using prepared phyllo cups and the same filling. It's a great party dish or easy appetizer!
