One of my favorite sites to get inspiration
for Tea Party Recipes is the
Athens Recipe Page
The site if full of yummy, and YES...
SIMPLE
ideas for Tea Time Treats!
I will be featuring some fun and SIMPLE ideas
from this site as well as my own creations
all through October.
Here is a simple tea time recipe I created
that literally takes 5 minutes to prepare.
I adapted Martha Stewart's
Asparagus Gruyere Tart
into a bite size yummy treat.
Ham with Asparagus & Gruyere Mini Tarts
1 package of Mini Phyllo Tart Shells
1 package 8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup of shredded black forest ham
1 - 1 1/2 cup of steamed asparagus (I used mostly the top third of the spear)
1 cup of shredded Gruyere Cheese
Dash of Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Preheat oven to 350
Thaw Phyllo Shells
Mix cream cheese, ham and asparagus tips and add salt and pepper to taste
Spoon 1 Tablespoon Cream Cheese Mixture into Tart Shell
Sprinkle with Shredded Gruyere Cheese
Top with Drizzle of Olive Oil
Bake in oven for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly!!
Serve Warm
Ooooohhhh YUMMY
