I have not taken egg tarts like in 2 years or so. What more about Portuguese Egg Tarts?! It's like centuries ago (I know that's exaggerating. Fine, 4 years back!). When mood is low, when appetite is gone, when you have the ingredient, when you have a crave for something made-possible, here I'm to present you with my Portuguese Egg Tarts.
I haven't tried baking egg tarts, yet. What more about Portuguese Egg Tarts?! I only ate before those in bakery shops in Malaysia. Still, I don't know whether that's the exact taste of the REAL Portuguese Egg Tarts in Portugal, but with me still in Ukraine, this should do just fine. Oh yeah, the pastry puff is pre-bought :) So, the ingredients are for the custard.
Ingredients :
300g Puff Pastry
200ml Whipping Cream
300ml Milk
3 Eggs
80g Sugar
200g Mozzarella Cheese (Shredded)
This is what you do when you forget to defroze before hand :P
Methods :
1. Place pot on stove, low fire, melt the sugar in the whipping cream (not to boil!!!).
2. Pour in milk when sugar is melted, heat a little (again don't boil!)
3. Add in eggs and whisk in the pot (not to froth it)
4. Remove from stove and add in the cheese and whisk till the cheese slightly melt and doesn't form lumps.
5. Set the custard aside and leave cool.
7. Carefully shape the dough into the egg tart molds and pull off the extra edges.
8. Fork the base a little.(Just like below)
10. Place the tarts into 200°C preheated oven.
11. Bake till it's a little bit burnt (as in picture), mine took about 30minutes.
12. Cool down a bit before removing from the mold.
*I managed to bake about 13 egg tarts with my big tart molds.*

You make me jealous of your incredible cooking and baking skill. Should I make you more jealous by saying... If I wanna eat something I can just drive my car out and get them easily? LOL. (j/k) Good job!!
