About Egg tarts

Egg tarts are a popular pastry originating from Asia, particularly celebrated in Chinese and Portuguese cuisines. They consist of a buttery, flaky crust filled with smooth, creamy egg custard made with eggs, sugar, and milk. This dessert is often baked to achieve a lightly caramelized top and a delicate texture. While egg tarts provide protein from the eggs and some calcium from the milk, they are also high in sugar and saturated fats due to the custard filling and pastry crust. Their calorie content can increase depending on portion size or recipe variations. Though they are not considered a highly nutritious choice, egg tarts can be enjoyed in moderation as a sweet treat during dim sum meals or tea gatherings. Balancing them with nutrient-rich foods can help mitigate their indulgent characteristics.
