To make

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat, add shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Add garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and lemon juice and mix until well combined. Stir in bacon, Parmesan cheese, chives, parsley, sautéd shallots and panko breadcrumbs. Fold in crab and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Place phyllo cups on a baking sheet and fill with crab filling. Bake until tops begin to brown, 12—15 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with chives.
