Ingredients

  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp (40 mL) butter
  • 24 asparagus spears, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) lengths
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) sherry vinegar or white balsamic vinegar

Directions

1. If wonton wrappers are frozen, thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Brush wonton wrappers with 1 1⁄2 Tbsp (25 mL) melted butter and press 2 wrappers into each mold of a muffin pan.
4. In a saucepan, melt the remaining butter on medium heat and cook asparagus for 2 minutes. Reserve in a bowl.
5. In the same saucepan, cook the shallot for 2 minutes. Deglaze with white wine and reduce by half. Add vinegar and reduce it once again by half. Pour over asparagus and season with salt and pepper. Divide asparagus and Brie among muffin molds lined with wonton wrappers. Chill until ready to serve.
6. To serve tartlets, bake on the bottom oven rack for 15 minutes or until wonton wrappers are golden brown. Serve immediately.
