Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.

  6. Add minced garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped rosemary. Cook for 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another minute.
  8. Place mini phyllo shells on the prepared baking sheet and fill each with the meat mixture.
  9. Top each filled shell with a dollop of creamy mashed potatoes.
  10. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes.
  11. Bake for 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted and tops are lightly golden.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider experimenting with different herbs or vegetables. Ensure potatoes are not too runny for easy handling.
