Crisp golden pastry, moreish salty ham, fresh asparagus and that perennial favourite pesto make these lovely open tarts a firm dinner winner. Serve them with a fresh green salad.
Ingredients
| 1 sheet | pre-rolled puff pastry |
| plain flour, for dusting | |
| 2 tbsp | green pesto |
| 2 tbsp | grated Parmesan cheese |
| a bunch of | asparagus |
| 4 slices | Parma ham |
| 1 | egg, beaten |
Essential kit
You will need: an air fryer.
Method
Carefully unroll your pastry on a flour-dusted service and cut into four equal squares.
Spread a quarter of the pesto onto each square and add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Wrap a few spears of asparagus in a slice of Parma ham, then place them diagonally across a pastry square, so that the tips of the spears are at a corner of the square. Fold a free corner in and over the spear, then fold the opposite corner loosely over that so that you have an open parcel. Repeat to form four parcels, then brush all the exposed pastry with the egg wash.
Transfer the parcels to the air fryer, placing them on a piece of baking paper. Cook at 180°C for 10 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
