Ingredients
- 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Some melted butter for greasing the tart molds
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease the tart molds with melted butter.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
- Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles slightly larger than the diameter of your tart molds.
- Press the pastry circles gently into the tart molds, making sure they fit snugly and cover the entire surface.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined.
- Add the evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the egg mixture, and whisk until smooth.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture into the prepared tart shells, filling them about 3/4 of the way.
- Place the filled tart molds on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pastry turns golden brown.
- Remove the egg tarts from the oven and let them cool in the molds for a few minutes. Then, carefully remove the tarts from the molds and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve the egg tarts at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
