An Eggy Sunday Afternoon...

Is 'eggy' even a word? After the Christmas baking frenzy, would you believe, I'm all out of butter?!? What the a heck? Butter is one of the building blocks in baking!!! My mind is on hundred miles per hour, wondering what dessert to make. Then AH HA! I remember that before the frenzy bug bit me, I recently found and bought TWO boxes of Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Dough and alas my parents just recently restock of fridge and I have dozens of eggs available, am I lucky or what? I quickly grabbed the Food Network book that I got on sale before, and went in search for the Portuguese Egg Tart, that I've been eyeing ever since I saw it.

It was such an easy procedure and the outcome are gorgeous and might I add yummy! The egg custard are soft bellied and the puff pastry crust are crisp, all in all such a light and indulgent dessert. But I must admit that in my excitement to make this that I miss read the instructions. I should have just cut my puff pastry dough into 6 pieces and not 12! But in the end, my mistake turn into my advantage because the custard that the recipe yielded was way too much for just 6 pieces, but just right with my 12 pieces.
