The 20-minute claim is honest for assembly if you buy pre-made phyllo shells, which Harris Teeter and Food Lion stock, but kalamata olives and quality feta will cost $8–12 for 15 bites, making it pricier than weeknight apps. All ingredients are standard Charlotte grocery finds with no special stops required. This is a no-heat appetizer that shines for company and holds well for a few hours, though it's best eaten same-day before shells soften; it does not reheat usefully. The Mediterranean flavors feel at home in the South but it lands as a fussier bite-sized appetizer rather than a family-feed dish.
