Portuguese Egg Tart

I can't tell you how much fun I had during the break. Me and H went for a trip to Leura and Blackheath. We had a picnic at the beautiful garden, it was a beautiful day with a nice cool breeze and a lot of sunshine.

Besides a full on day trip, the next day we went out with our relatives, we had ice creams and sat near the beach. It was a beautiful day too.

The day before my trip to Leura, I received my Donna Hay Magazine in the mail box. I love Donna Hay, who doesn't really?!

When I flicked through the magazine, I saw this Portuguese egg tart. My mouth watered.  I was so excited to bake them, since I hadn't had this for a while

Me and H were so excited when they came out perfect.  These little morsels are so moreish that one will never be enough. We love it.

I hope you will too.
