EGG TART NATION!

The egg tart or egg custard tart also known as “dan tat” in the asian language is a pastry commonly found in Hong Kong and other Asian countries, which consists of an outer pastry crust that is filled with egg custard and baked.

However, the Portuguese style egg tarts are baked slightly different! A traditional Portuguese custard pastry also consists of custard in a crème brûlée-like consistency but caramelized on top! Mmm’mmm!

It was created more than 200 years ago by Catholic Sisters and sold in a pastry shop in 1837. It is now a popular pastry in almost every pastry shop around the world owned by Portuguese descendants.

Get it!…‘cause you can’t eat just one!
