Portugese egg tarts are a little different from the traditional Cantonese egg tarts. They are wrapped in a flaky puff pasty and filled in a creamy custard. They're known for their darker caramelized tops in comparison to their Cantonese counterpart. Making egg tarts has always intimidated me. Judging by the taste and looks, they looked difficult and time consuming. After attempting them, I realized that's far from true. Making Portugese egg tarts honestly requires little technique. Just requires some patience as you wait for them to bake and lots of self control to stop yourself from eating the whole batch!

These are my favorite. I work in NJ where there is a large Portuguese population. The bakeries in the Ironbound area made these. They were delicious! Still warm sometimes. I can taste them and smell them. I will try these! With the pandemic I haven’t been in the office for a long time.
I look forward to making these with a little coconut flavor. We'll see how they come out. My husband enjoys eating these when we go to Asian restaurants where they're served. Thanks for the recipe!
