🇵🇹 Portugal recipe
Pastel de Nata
Portugal's most famous pastry, originating from the Jerónimos Monastery in Belém. These custard tarts feature an impossibly flaky, shattering puff pastry shell filled with a rich egg custard that blisters and caramelizes under intense heat. The secret lies in the high oven temperature that creates the signature charred spots on the custard surface.
