1/4 cup red pepper jelly (or pepper jelly of choice!) Preheat oven to 350°F. Line up phyllo cups on a baking sheet. Cut 1/2 of a block of cream cheese into 15 small cubes. To make this easier, freeze your cream cheese for about half an hour before cutting. Place each little cube of cream cheese into a phyllo cup. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes.
A little vinegar in the olive oil used for brushing the layers of phyllo keeps the dough pliable and easier to coil. The dipping sauce calls for tamarind concentrate, which can vary in thickness. If the brand you choose is quite dense, thin the sauce with a bit of water to make it dunkable.
Scoop a spoonful of the meat-cheese mixture and place on the short end of phyllo strip (the end closest to you). Roll two times away from you. Fold in the phyllo sides all the way, and continue to roll toward the other end. Brush with a little more olive oil and egg wash.
