Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for tin
8 ounces (1/2 package) kataifi, thawed
4 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, (optional)
Jelly beans, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush a 12-cup muffin tin with butter. Pull phyllo into 1-inch-thick bundles; cut bundles into 2-inch lengths. Place in a bowl; separate into a loose pile with fingers. Toss with butter, sugar, and cinnamon, if using.
  • Divide among 12 muffin cups; press into bottom and up sides. Cook until golden and crisp around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool; fill with jelly beans.
