Making Pepper Jelly & Cream Cheese Phyllo Bites is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for delicious results:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Phyllo Dough: Carefully unroll the phyllo dough and cover the sheets with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
3. Cut Phyllo Sheets: Cut the phyllo sheets into squares or rectangles, depending on your desired size.
4. Brush with Oil: Place one phyllo sheet on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Layer another phyllo sheet on top and brush again.
5. Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, pepper jelly, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until well blended.
6. Add Filling: Spoon a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of the phyllo pastry.
7. Fold Over: Fold the corners of the phyllo over the filling to create a small packet or a triangle shape, sealing the edges together.
8. Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush the mixture over the phyllo bites for a golden finish.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
10. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the bites to cool slightly before serving.
