Pastéis de Nata are Portugal’s most beloved pastry—crispy, creamy, and utterly irresistible 🇵🇹✨
🥮 What Are Pastéis de Nata?
These are Portuguese custard tarts, made with a flaky puff pastry shell and filled with a rich, eggy custard. They’re baked at high heat until the tops caramelize into golden brown spots, giving them their signature look and flavor.
📜 A Bite of History
Originated in the 18th century at the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon.
Created by Catholic monks who used egg whites to starch clothes—leaving behind lots of yolks, which they turned into pastries.
After the monastery closed, the recipe was sold to the Fábrica de Pastéis de Belém, which still makes them today using a secret recipe.
🍽️ How They’re Made
Custard filling: egg yolks, sugar, cream, and a hint of lemon or cinnamon.
Pastry shell: rolled puff pastry, shaped into small cups.
Baked at very high heat to achieve the signature blistered top.
😋 How to Enjoy Them
Best served warm, with a sprinkle of cinnamon or powdered sugar.
Pair with a bica (Portuguese espresso) for the full experience.
Locals often eat them as a mid-morning or afternoon treat.
