I was hooked on these scrumptious Portuguese Egg Tart eversince the first time Rasa Malaysia made them for me. Everytime we meet up for makan (eating) session, I will request her to make them. So many times that she told me to request for something else beside egg tarts. haha. I did not own the mini muffin pan until a few weeks ago when I found them at Walmart selling for 4.99 which is a real bargain so I grabbed one. Last weekend we were invited to a birthday party in Temecula and I decided to use it and make some Portuguese Egg Tarts. The first try was as usual a disaster. Instead of using 1 box of pastry mix, I used 2 so you can imagine how thick the crust was! The next morning we rushed to the supermarket and got another box of pie crust mix and finally they turned out so so good.
Portuguese Egg Tarts
makes 24 in mini muffin pan
A. Crust
1 box Betty Crocker Pie Crust Mix 11oz
3 tbsp melted butter
1/3 cup cold water
B. Filling
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup milk
1 tspn vanilla essence
1. Stir ingredients A in a bowl until it forms a big ball. On a floured surface, roll the dough and cut into 24 little balls.
2. Butter the muffin pan or you can also use pam. Preheat the oven to 200F.
3. Flatten the balls and try to mould/shape them to fit into the muffin pan using your fingers before you actually fit them into the pan. Once all 24 are ready, set aside.
4. Put all ingredients B in the blender and beat for 3-4 minutes. Strain using a strainer into a measurement cup for easy pouring. Fill them into the crust about 80% full.
5. Turn up the heat to 375F and bake for 25min or until the filling start turning a little bit brownish.

Interesting egg tart, what is the differnt than the regular egg tart?
Sis Farina, sedap ni..thanks for recipe..yay!
They look so yum! I'm going to try the recipe out soon!
You know the first time I made this, it came out a complete flop, I saw it in an English cook book. This rarely happens to me, especially when I am following a recipe. I threw the book to the side. This recipe is where one has to make everything from scratch.
Now I see that you are using a Betty Crocker mix and your tarts look absolutely delicious! Time to try this again! ha! ha!
They looked really cute and adorable little hors d'oeuvre.
Great job. I am going to hop over to RM to check out hers.

This portuguese egg tarts sounds very easy to make. I like that you're using ready-made dough since I don't have the confidence in making it from scratch. Thank you again for a great easy portuguese egg tarts recipe. Definitely a keeper!
