  I think I used too much cream cheese (didn't have mascarpone) and the pastry went soggy underneath. Next time i'll use less and make them smaller which should make them crispier. All in all good recipe, my boyfriend loved it!

  I used ricotta as did not have mascarpone and it was delicious. I would probably add more parmesan to the cheese mix next time though. I added some yellow pepper aswell and would possibly add tomato or bacon next time too. It made a lovely starter and I would definitely make it again.

  Have cooked this lots of times - it's a no-fail brilliantly seasonal starter that never fails to impress on flavour.

  Lovely recipe, hubby suggested parma ham on top - if you can't live without meat that is!

  I used grated cheddar and sliced tomatoes with the asparagus on top. It was super.

  A starter?! Rather filling for that. We had two each for dinner and if I'd had one as a starter I would certainly not have been able to eat too much else. Lovely receipe though. Very simple. Next time I would make more of the marscopone mixuture as we couldn't taste it all that much.

  Was pretty perfect! But maybe could do with something else on top as well? Also sprinkled a bit of salt on top - was delicious!

  These tarts have become a firm favourite, have used garlic & herb cream cheese with the parmesan instead of mascapone - just as wonderful!
