White Cheddar Asparagus Breakfast Tarts

Welcome to the fifth annual #BrunchWeek hosted by Terri from Love and Confections and Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures. We are so excited to have you join us this year as we celebrate Brunch and prepare for Mother’s Day.

Our amazing Sponsors have donated some great prizes for the #BrunchWeek giveaway. Thank you so much, Sponsors, for your generosity. We have an incredible giveaway below and we’d love if you would take a moment to read about it and what you can win!

Now let’s talk about making these delicious White Cheddar Asparagus Breakfast Tarts, I am a huge fan of eggs for breakfast. Naturally when I found out that Michigan Asparagus and Cabot Cheese where both sponsoring Brunch Week this year, I knew I wanted to combine the two into an irresistible recipe.

White Cheddar Asparagus Breakfast Tarts

For me nothing is more filling and satisfying at breakfast or brunch than a dish made with egg, add flaky puff pastry, asparagus and smoky white cheddar and I just might end up eating two. Actually I did eat two, and I’m not sorry! Bake these White Cheddar Asparagus Breakfast Tarts for your next brunch or eat them for dinner, either way I just know you’re going to love them too, enjoy and happy baking.
