Recipes for filling in mini phyllo cups? Need an appetizer served room temp or cold?

I need an appetizer that uses mini phyllo cups… I was thinking something like curry chicken salad but already have chicken as one of the main courses. I would really like some type of a vegetable or cheese filling preferable without any meat (I guess I could use seafood but already have shrimp cocktail)and something that I do not have to serve warm. Please give me any suggestions… Also I am making this myself so I would like it to be something simple and not too expensive because it is for 50-65 people.

These are yummy, economical and pretty easy.
Tomato Canapes
3/4 cup finely diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons finely diced onions
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh basil leaves
1 package mini phyllo shells
1/2 cup packed shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder
4 tablespoons real bacon pieces, or more as needed
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the diced tomatoes in a colander. Sprinkle with the onions, basil, salt, pepper and garlic powder, and toss to coat. Allow to drain, stirring occasionally. Fill each phyllo shell with a scant tablespoon of the tomato mixture. Stir together the mozzarella and mayonnaise. Frost the top of each shell with a scant tablespoon of the mozzarella mixture. Sprinkle each shell with 1/4 teaspoon of bacon pieces. Bake the filled shells for 10 to 12 minutes. These may be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until serving time.
