Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place phyllo cups on a rimmed baking sheet.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, ~30 seconds.
Step 3
Add spinach in batches and stir until wilted and any liquid evaporates, ~3 minutes total.
Step 4
Remove skillet from heat. Stir in feta, red onion, pine nuts, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Spoon filling evenly into each phyllo cup, mounding gently. Don't overfill.
Step 6
Bake until cups are golden and crisp, ~8 minutes. Watch after 6 minutes to avoid over-browning.
Step 7
Cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a serving platter.
