Ingredients

Instructions Of Making Portuguese Egg Tart

1. Prepare the Custard Mixture
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, whole egg, full cream milk, whipping cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla essence.
   • Use a balloon whisk to stir the ingredients until well combined.
2. Strain the Mixture
   • Pour the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any lumps.
   • Set aside and refrigerate for later use.
3. Prepare the Puff Pastry
   • Roll the puff pastry into a log shape, then cut it into 1-inch (approximately 2 cm) pieces.
   • Flatten each piece with a rolling pin and place them into the aluminium foil cups, shaping them to fit.
   • Place the prepared cups in the freezer for 10 minutes.
4. Fill the Pastry Cups
   • Remove the cups from the freezer and, if desired, add ½ teaspoon of Nutella to the center of each pastry cup.
   • Pour the chilled custard mixture into the cups, filling them just below the rim.
5. Bake the Tarts
   • Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
   • Bake the tarts for 30-40 minutes or until the tops develop a caramelized golden-brown color.
   • Remove from the oven and allow them to cool before serving.

Serving and Enjoyment

Once the tarts have cooled slightly, they are ready to be enjoyed. The crispy layers of puff pastry paired with the creamy, velvety custard create an irresistible bite. You can serve them warm or at room temperature, alongside a cup of coffee or tea for the perfect pairing.
