Egg-based desserts are criminally underrated. Popular in Europe, these sunny, creamy, and delicious desserts are perfect for when you have an abundance of eggs and don’t want another omelette.
Crème Brûlée
Crème Brûlée is made with just five simple ingredients. With a rich creamy custard middle with a crunchy sugared top, this elegant French dessert is ideal for your next dinner party. Get your teaspoon ready and turn the music off so you can listen to the satisfying crackle as you break into the top.
Basque Cheesecake
Requiring at least six whole eggs, this decadent Spanish cheesecake is one of the best things that come out of misjudging your grocery shop! It has no crust meaning it’s naturally gluten-free and is SUPPOSED to be burnt on the top. Basically, it’s divine and you can’t mess it up!
Pastel de Nata
These Portuguese custard tarts are little mouthfuls of creamy, vanilla-y delight. If you’ve ever been to Lisbon, you’ll know that no coffee break is complete without a flaky pastel de nata, and you’ll feel the same once you learn to make them yourself. A little more fiddly to create because of the buttery pastry, pastel de nata make a great Sunday afternoon project that you’ll get to enjoy all week (if they last that long!).
