Mini Chorizo Asparagus And Cheese Tarts

Mini Chorizo Asparagus And Cheese Tarts

Posted 2015-01-08 by finyfollow

It is sometimes difficult to decide what to cook each night.

Today I had no idea what to make for dinner, so looked in the fridge and found a few ingredients -it is out of these ingredients that I made these mini tarts.

They could also be made with slices of bread rolled thinly instead of pastry and of course, for vegetarians, omit the chorizo.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 12 mini tarts

Ingredients
1 sheet Puff pastry
Bunch fresh asparagus
½ Chorizo sausage
2 spring onions
About ¼ - ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
Bit of extra grated cheese (optional)

Method
  • Cut the chorizo into thin slices and then halve. Cook till it is brown, then drain on paper.

  • Roll the pastry till it is quite thin (or to your liking) and using a cup, cut out rounds to fit your muffin tin.


  • Thin them out a bit with your fingers so that they line each section of the muffin pan, ensuring they come right to the top.


  • Prick and bake in a hot oven for about 7 - 8 minutes.

  • Meanwhile chop off the tough ends of the asparagus and cut it into small pieces. Boil for about 2 - 3 minutes, then drain on paper. Leave the top pieces for decoration on top.

  • Chop the spring onions finely, and cook in the saucepan where you cooked the chorizo, till soft.

  • Line each small tart with several slices of chorizo, divide the asparagus, and add some of the spring onions.

  • Beat the eggs and grate the Parmesan or other cheese into the egg mixture, till the egg is quite thick. Add some pepper if desired.


  • Divide this mixture evenly over the tarts, Add a bit more grated cheese (optional) if there is room, and dot with the reserved pieces of the asparagus.


  • Bake for about 10 minutes till the cheese is bubbly.


  • Serve with a salad of your choice -I used red cabbage, grated carrot and a bit of raw broccoli and added some [link http://reviewclue.com.au/kewpie-japanese-mayonnaise/ wasabi mayonnaise].
