Treat Yourself to an Egg Tart !

Well in the UK Susana ... It would be classed as a cake ... They are rather nice these ones ... Although you need about 4 to make it worthwhile ... Nice with any drink ...

Ok, I give. What is an egg tart? Tart implies it is a dessert, egg implies it is breakfast, to my way of thinking. Either way, I would not want it with a soft drink.

It is basically egg custard in a pastry case.

Lemon Meringue, now you are talking, this is my favourite too, with a big dollop of vanilla ice cream on the plate, perfect !!

Funny thing, there is also a version of an "egg" tart here in Singapore without the egg. It is supposed to taste and look similar to conventional egg tarts, especially for those who do not want to eat eggs or cannot eat eggs due to allergy. However, my opinion of it is that the taste of the eggless ones are quite distinct from the 'real' egg tarts. My take is that some dishes are simply hard or impossible to replicate into vegetarian versions.
