🥗 Ingredients (tap to check off)

3 large large flour tortillas
1.5 tbsp melted butter
7 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley (packed)
20 whole pitted green olives
0.5 cup shelled walnuts
2 cloves garlic cloves, finely grated
0.5 tsp salt & black pepper
12 servings cucumber ribbons & pomegranate seeds for garnish

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Bake Tortilla Cups

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut tortillas into 3.5-inch circles, press into muffin pan, brush with butter, and bake for 7–9 mins until crisp.

Blend Filling

Blend cream cheese, parsley, olives, walnuts, garlic, salt, and pepper until thick and creamy.

Pipe & Decorate

Pipe into cooled cups and garnish with cucumber spirals, pomegranate jewels, and fresh parsley.

❄️ Storing & Reheating Leftovers

Refrigeration: Allow the dish to cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.

Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat with a small splash of water or olive oil, or in a 350°F (175°C) oven until thoroughly warmed. This preserves the delicate moisture without drying out the texture.
