About Chinese egg tart

A Chinese egg tart is a popular pastry originating from Cantonese cuisine, influenced by British custard tarts and Portuguese pastéis de nata. Its delicate structure consists of a buttery, flaky crust filled with a smooth, creamy custard made from eggs, sugar, milk, and possibly cream. While rich in flavor, the egg tart is also a source of protein from the eggs and essential calcium from dairy ingredients. However, it is a calorie-dense treat, often containing a notable amount of sugar and fat from the butter and milk, which contribute to its satisfying texture and taste. Typically enjoyed as a dessert or snack, it is best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Each bite offers a harmonious balance of sweetness and richness, making it a beloved staple at dim sum meals and bakeries worldwide.
