About Portuguese egg tart

The Portuguese Egg Tart, or Pastel de Nata, is a beloved dessert originating from Portugal. This sweet treat features a flaky, golden puff pastry shell filled with a creamy custard made from egg yolks, sugar, milk, and sometimes cinnamon or lemon zest for added flavor. Traditionally baked at high heat, the tarts develop slightly caramelized tops, lending a deliciously rich and textured finish. While the eggs provide protein and some essential nutrients, the dessert is high in sugar and saturated fats, making it an indulgence best enjoyed in moderation. Portuguese Egg Tarts are a symbol of culinary tradition and offer an exquisite balance of crispy and creamy textures, but their nutritional profile is typical of decadent pastries—rich in calories and minimally nutritious overall. Perfect as a treat for special occasions, they pair beautifully with coffee or tea.
