We have our own asparagus patch, and each spring I look forward to making treats like these tartlets. I enjoy them as a mini meal or as appetizers. They freeze well and are very popular at parties. -Elaine Anderson Aliquippa, Pennsylvania

I'm not a fan of ham, so I substituted bacon in these tartlets. They were still delicious!

I had a hard time finding asparagus that was thin enough for these tartlets. I ended up having to cut them in half lengthwise.

These tartlets were a bit too oily for my liking. I think I'll drain the asparagus better next time.

The crust on these tartlets was too thick and doughy. I'll try using a different recipe next time.

These tartlets were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra seasoning next time.

I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but I really enjoyed these tartlets. The ham and cheese helped to balance out the flavor of the asparagus.

These are the best asparagus tartlets I've ever had. The crust is so flaky and the filling is so creamy and flavorful.

These tartlets were a hit at my last party! The flaky crust and creamy filling were perfect together, and the asparagus and ham added a nice touch of flavor.
