Directions
These Asparagus and Feta Tartlets with Phyllo Crust taste as amazing as they look. At their peak in Spring, the asparagus are tangy and bright after a quick saut and a splash of lemon juice. The feta adds briny flavor, but goat cheese would also work beautifully. If youre looking for more individual tarts for Spring, youll also love these Asparagus and Caramelized Onion Tartlets and Layered Potato Cups with Spring Herbs and Leeks.,The most important thing to do when prepping asparagus is to snap off the hard, woody end of each stalk. For this tart recipe, cut off the top 1.5 inches of the asparagus and cut the remaining parts into 1-inch pieces.,Phyllo dough and puff pastry are not the same and should not be substituted for each other. Puff pastry is more buttery and thicker than phyllo dough. Phyllo is a very thin pastry made of mostly flour and water with very little fat. It can also be spelled filo and means leaf in Greek. Since phyllo doesnt have much fat, I spray each sheet with oil before cutting. Work quickly with the dough to prevent it from drying out.,Sub goat cheese for feta.,If asparagus are out of season, try zucchini.,You can easily double this tartlet recipe if you need to feed more people.,Spring Asparagus Risotto,Cream of Asparagus Soup,Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus,Lemon Asparagus Couscous Salad with Tomatoes,Asparagus and Swiss Cheese Frittata
