I made these mini Portuguese egg tarts for a birthday party a couple of days ago and I just have to share the pictures above with you because they are simply too cute. Somehow the mini egg tarts tasted even better than the regular ones I made months ago. I am also entering this to “June 2007 Monthly Mingle - Birthday Party Bang” organized by “What’s for Lunch, Honey?” My friends loved these mini Portuguese egg tarts and I hope Meeta likes them too for her upcoming birthday…

Perfectly baked! Think you missed out a word or two on “better”, “more delicious”, “more yummilicious” ?
The birthday guy/gal is lucky :D

Tiga - Hehe, you posted the comment while I was still editing my post, thanks for catching the typo, fixed. :)
Lemongrass - yeah, you are too lucky as you are in KL, just walk out and bakeries are easier available.
For the love of food - yes, mini is the way to go now.
Lucia - thanks for voting. :)
Claude - this is not really an European dish, but I guess it was influenced by the Portuguese. These egg tarts are very very popular in Hong Kong, Macau, and places like Malaysia, etc. But I am sure there is a real European version of egg custard tarts.
Pablo - haha, exactly. They are the best fresh out of the oven and I can pop many of these at once.
Jackson - oh, thanks for your kind words. :)
Cynthia - I hope to read your post when you make them. :)

Downtown Newark, NJ is like Little Portugal and one of my best friend’s fiance is Portugese so I have eaten quite a few of those egg tarts. Personally, I prefer the Chinese version because of the flakier crust and softer custard. The Portugese version has a breadier crust.

The browned tops tell me these were good tarts.
