    Savory Asparagus and Sun-Dried Tomato Herb Tart

    Published: Jan 11, 2018 · Updated: Aug 18, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    A very simple savory tart recipe that uniquely combines asparagus and sun-dried tomatoes with vegan cheese, all nestled in a perfect puff-pastry square. I love recipes that double as quick-and-easy snacks by day and elegant party foods by night. And this one is exactly that. The prep is easy, and minimal equipment is needed.

    Serves: 4 to 6
    Prep time: 30 minutes
    Bake Time: 25 minutes

    • 3 fresh garlic cloves 1 teaspoon sea salt
    • ½ cup packed fresh basil
    • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes
    • Two 8-ounce) packages vegan cream cheese
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1 package (17 ounces) vegan puff-pastry sheets, thawed
    • 1 pound asparagus (18 to 24 stalks)
    • 1 cup Daiya Mozzarella Cheese Shreds
    • ½ cup Go Veggie Vegan Parmesan Style Topping

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

    Mash the garlic cloves with the salt into a paste on a cutting board, using a large chef’s knife and a smashing-and- rocking motion.

    Cut the fresh basil and the sun-dried tomatoes into fine strips.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese with the garlic paste, thyme, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil, and mix well.

    Remove the thawed puff-pastry sheets from the box and unfold the 2 separate sheets. Cut them along the fold lines and place 3 pieces on each sheet pan. Prick the entire surface with a fork to vent and prevent too much puffing in the oven.

    Spread each pastry rectangle with the cream-cheese mixture and fold the edges of each rectangle to create a ¼-inch border. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.

    Place 3 or 4 stalks of asparagus onto the cream-cheese mixture in each puff pastry, and sprinkle each one with about 21/2 tablespoons of the vegan mozzarella and a bit of the vegan Parmesan.

    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

    Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

    Notes

    • This tart is best served the day it is made, but it can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a toaster oven for 10 minutes before serving.
    • Try to find the thinner stalks of asparagus, as they will be more tender and better overall. But if you can only find the larger, thicker stalks, simply take a vegetable peeler to each stalk and peel away some of the woodier flesh for a more tender bite.
