The asparagus mini-tarts are a simple and tasty appetizer, perfect for Easter lunch or Easter Monday.
Soft, fragrant and very easy to make, they can be prepared in advance and served warm or at room temperature.
In this recipe I used fresh asparagus, which are in season in spring and make these tarts even more flavorful.
Ideal to make in single portions, they are perfect as an elegant yet uncomplicated appetizer.
I used my air fryer but they can also be easily baked in the oven.
