I love asparagus! This looks heavenly - must try!

Ivonne,
I’m overcome with ideas and questions.
Do I see outlines on the blank puff pastry to create an edge? or is that my eyes/mind playing playing tricks.
Then I’m thinking about using my garlic bread to wrap the asparagus with, have to give that a bit more thoughts.
These really look wonderful!

I love these, but have never worked with puff pastry before. I would love to serve these next Friday to my bridge group, but we start playing at 9:30 a.m. break for lunch, then continue so I need to do things I can have assembled the night before to make it quick. What parts of this recipe could I do ahead of time?

It was nice not to have to bake much for the Daring Baker challenge, I recommend that if you’re not really into baking too much right now because of the weather.
As for the asparagus tartlets, they look fab. I just have to go make some puff pastry to make some…

Looks yummy! Bit of balsamic over it and it would be heavenly!

It’s hot in Seattle too. No baking on my end.
The tarts look devine.

Rain or sunshine, this is a winner! It is beautiful~

puff pastry anything is a winner!

Frozen puff pastry is a lifesaver — as long as you remember to defrost it (which, of course, I rarely do….). It really dresses up any vegetable and cheese combination!

Ooh, they look nice and easy yet delicious! Our asparagus are horrid at the moment (winter tends to do that), I wonder if this would work well with any other veggie?

Chill….(or atleast try to!). Everyone deserves a break now and then but I appreciated this post for the photos! Your baking pans made me smile—they tell many stories of being put to good use as they look so much like the ones I utilized at the bakery. Great memories!

Buone quete sfoglie con gli asparagi…
Ciao.

This looks very interesting…like to know different uses for ricotta. It’s so hot over here too…except I can’t bake because my air conditioning is broken in the house and it is almost like an oven itself inside :(.

Tasty looking pastries, Ivonne!

We’re at the tale end of asparugus in TO but this is someone I’ll try in squeeze in to try this yr.

One - it is going to be 99 degrees here today, so I sympathize. I’m banning the oven, the clothes dryer, and basically any other appliances right now until it gets cooler.

Two - I just had my first mojito this weekend, so I hope yours is keeping you cool too.

Three - I love the asparagus tarts. Ricotta cheese is just such a wonderful thing that people don’t use enough in cooking. Its delicious.

I should be leaving more comments. Everytime I come around you have cooked up something amazing, so I wind up cleaning drool off my keyboard.

I think it is hot everywhere! I love asparagus. I will have to try these tarts, they look great and Donna’s recipes are always easy, yet elegant.

I had to turn my oven on last night for 20 minutes, and I nearly fainted! Stay cool!

I love food that looks so “fancy” but is really so easy!!
This looks amazing!

I love your blog! Great Job!!! Come by to see mine if you like. I started it just a few weeks ago. I added you to my links - hope you don’t mind…

I love asparagus too, that’s a real take a bite of me picture

Too lovely…and so simple! Hope you are staying cool!

I feel for you! But thanks for distracting us with those gorgeous asparagus tarts I have this issue and have been wanting to give this a go…

Oh how beautiful! I love the simplicity of non-custard-set tarts, and they somehow seem so right for summer with a little green salad. You know, it was 98 in NYC yesterday, and we’ve been all about sushi delivery, but these might lure me back into the kitchen.

I’ts not hot at all here in the UK but at least it’s dry today after all the rain we’ve been having lately - there’s even been a bit of sunshine! Just to say I was inspired by your salad post (a few previously) and I’m going to try the pasta and roasted pepper one to take to an open air picnic concert on Friday evening (I might have to leave out the artichoke hearts though - no that easy to find them here). Needless to say, we’ll be taking the waterproofs and umbrellas along as well……

Ivonne,
I’m sorry you’re unable to bake! I hope it cools down a bit and that you can enjoy your summer! It’s funny, I never liked asparagus but I’ve been starting to lately and this recipe definitely piques my interest! Keep the wonderful blog coming.

Simple and refreshing - I love it, Ivonne! We truly have been blessed with this years asparagus crop!

It truly is hard to go wrong with puff- Everytime I see something gorgeously simple yet mouthwateringly delicious- I think that I need to bake some up! Keep cool-

Oh these look heavenly!

When things are horridly hot and humid here, I love to experiment with things like uncooked pasta sauces, ice creams, salads, and so on.

I hope you don’t mind that I’ve added your blog to my cooking link directory. I seem to have gone wild updating it today; I’ve found so many wonderful blogs this morning!

The asparagus and puff pastry looks divine and very do-able.
This is a must try!
Wishing you a wonderful day!

These are delicious, Ivonne!! I feel like making them at my house, too!

Nothing like a mojito under a pear tree - if I had one!! I can dream I suppose!! The weather is absolutely awful here, never seen it so bad 13 degrees today???? Lovely simple tarts Yvonne!!!

These are the greatest! and simple! Bookmarked…for sure! Lovely, Lovely, Lovely.

I can’t believe that we have somehow missed the Ontario asparagus! We kept waiting for the prices to go down to tell us that we were getting field asparagus instead of greenhouse asparagus (silly us)

And now I’m kicking myself even more. The asparagus tarts look delicious.

P.S. When it was so insanely hot earlier this week, we really needed bread (none left in the freezer) and like you, I just couldn’t face turning the oven on either. So one night we baked focaccia on the barbecue - brilliant. Another night, pita worked really well on the barbecue too.

Ivonne, it’s hot and rainy here, too. And stormy. And humid. Ugh.

Those asparagus puffs look gorgeous. Your photos, as always, are amazing. These puffs remind me a little of some mushroom “empanadas” I made at New Year’s with puff pastry.

hello, you have the best recipes and enjoy your writing as much as your photos which are excellant.. i get the munchies every time I’m here!! now i have a problem and thought you can help! I am having a casual get together with new family and thought i would cook up some local treats of ‘deep fried bluegills/ pan fish’ in a light crumb coating , and a couple diferent dipping sauses[ they are small and like eating potatoe chips.!! ] any suggestions would be great! but not sure of what i could serve with them and a dessert, its hot here so don’t want to fuss much..

I’m new at this whole cooking thing - trying to get ideas and all - and came across this post for the asparagus tarts. I got everything I needed for it, including some nice and young asparagus… this was way easy for a newbie like me to make. Definitely one for my recipe file.

Thanks so much!!
