How to Make Chicken Green Chilies Cheese Cups

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup cooked shredded chicken, 1/2 cup chopped green chilies (canned or fresh), 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
Place phyllo cups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Spoon 1 rounded teaspoon of chicken filling into each phyllo cup.
Add about 1 teaspoon of the egg mixture on top of the filling.
Let the cups sit for about 1 minute to allow the egg mixture to settle.
Top each cup with another teaspoon of the egg mixture, filling almost to the top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the cups are golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving. Can be frozen for up to 2 weeks; reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
