Everyone loves Portuguese egg tarts and I am sharing my Portuguese egg tarts recipe with you.
I did not make these Portuguese egg tarts from scratch. If you stay true and authentic to the recipe, it’s perfectly fine to take short cuts when it comes to cooking or baking. For the shell, I “cheated” with a pack of off-the-shelf Betty Crocker Pie Crust Mix. You can also use Pillsbury frozen and rolled pie crust.
The taste of these Portuguese egg tarts taste trumps everything else. The instant pie crust mix did not disappoint. In fact, it completely blew me away–the crust was so flaky and the texture was so light that my Portuguese egg tarts tasted like they came straight out of a patisserie. If you don’t like your Portuguese egg tarts too sweet, you can reduce the sugar a little bit. Be sure to use jumbo-size eggs or you might be short of the filling mixture for these Portuguese egg tarts…
If you live in California and would like to try out some really good egg tarts, I strongly urge you to go to the following two establishments:
Golden Gate Bakery
1029 Grant Ave
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 781-2627
This famed bakery is a legend in the San Francisco Bay Area. The line is longer than the Great Wall of China, but let me assure you that their egg tarts are well worth the painful wait. Don’t expect any good service from the shop keepers either, but do expect a lot of satisfaction from the hot-off-the-oven egg tarts.
Golden Gate’s egg tarts are 5 fingers licking good.
Jim’s Bakery (金狮饼家)
102 E. Garvey Ave.
Monterey Park, CA 91755
(626) 573-5757
This is the best kept secret of Southern California. Jim’s egg tarts are equally sublime and the crusts are so flaky they are to die for. Trays and trays of egg tarts are served right out of the oven but they are usually gone in no time. Call ahead to get the freshest and prettiest selection.
Opens from 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Pineapple Tarts
These pineapple tarts need no introduction. I had previously blogged and raved about pineapple tarts when I first tried out Novice Baker‘s pineapple tarts recipe. This time, my pineapple tarts come in a different—but smaller—shape. They are still crumbly, buttery, and addictive. Once you pop one in your mouth, you just can’t stop and want more… (Click Page 2 for…
Cream Puffs
I first fell in love with cream puffs when I was in primary school. In my class, there was this boy whose father owned a popular bakery shop and their specialty was cream puffs. Every year, the bakery would sponsor their cream puffs to the students at the school; we would bring back a box filled with the sweet, puffy,…
