directions
Place 1 sheet of phyllo on work surface, keeping remainder covered with damp towel to prevent drying out. Brush sheet lightly with some of the butter. Top with second sheet; brush with butter. Repeat with third sheet. Cut lengthwise into 5 strips and crosswise into 6 strips to make 30 squares. Press each into lightly greased 1 ¾-inch mini-muffin or tart cup.
Bake in centre of 400°F oven until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from pan; let cool on rack. Repeat with remaining phyllo and butter. (Make-ahead: Store in single layer in airtight container for up to 2 days. Or freeze for up to 2 weeks; reheat frozen on rimmed baking sheet in 375°F oven for 5 to 10 minutes.)
Drain crabmeat through sieve, picking through to remove any cartilage; squeeze out liquid and set crabmeat aside. In bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce. Add crabmeat, mango, green onion and coriander; toss to mix. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.) Add avocado; toss to combine. Spoon into phyllo cups.
In bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and parsley. Spoon goat cheese evenly into phyllo cups. Spoon tomato mixture over top.
