Filo Kisses (After assembling these, you can freeze on a cookie sheet and then put into a bag and pull out a few whenever needed, although a double batch never lasts past the first party!)
8 sheets filo dough 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted 4 ounces cream cheese 4 ounces garlic and herb flavored cheese (like Boursin, Alouette or Rondele)
Mix the cream cheese and herb cheese very well. Lightly brush one sheet of filo dough with butter and top with another sheet, brushing lightly with butter. Cut into 30 squares (5 rows of 6 squares). Place a small amount of the cheese mixture in the center of each square. Gather corners of each square and twist tops like you are making a “chocolate kiss” shape. Brush tops with a bit of butter. Repeat process with remaining ingredients.
Can be frozen before baking - place on a cookie sheet and place into the freezer. Once frozen slightly, they can be placed into any container and frozen, but will be loose and you can pull as many out as you need.
Bake at 350F degrees for about 10 minutes, or until golden. If baking from frozen, bake about 4 minutes longer. Serve immediately after baking.
