In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Using a spoon, fill each phyllo cup with the crab and cheese mixture. Be generous but ensure the filling is evenly distributed among the 12 cups.
