Ingredients You'll Need:

This recipe yields approximately 6 egg tarts. Adjust accordingly based on your air fryer's capacity.

For the Pastry:

• 1 sheet (140g) ready-made puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg yolk, for egg wash

For the Custard:

• 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
• ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Preparing the Pastry:

1. Preheat your air fryer: Set your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) and let it preheat for at least 5 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
2. Cut the puff pastry: Gently unroll the thawed puff pastry. Using a 4-inch cookie cutter or a sharp knife, cut out 6 circles. These will form the tart shells.
3. Fill the air fryer basket: Carefully press each pastry circle into the cups of a 6-cup muffin tin (silicone muffin tins work great for easy removal). Gently press the pastry into the bottom and up the sides to form a shell. Crimp the edges for a neat finish. Don't worry if they're not perfectly round!
4. Blind bake the pastry: Prick the bottom of each pastry shell several times with a fork to prevent puffing during baking. Place the muffin tin in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the pastry is lightly golden. This pre-baking step is crucial for a crisp shell.

Making the Custard Filling:

1. Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and slightly frothy. Ensure there are no lumps.
2. Fill the pastry shells: Carefully pour the custard filling into each of the pre-baked pastry shells, filling them almost to the top.

Air Frying the Egg Tarts:

1. Air fry: Return the muffin tin to the air fryer basket. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 12-15 minutes, or until the custard is set and the tops are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
2. Cool and serve: Once cooked, remove the muffin tin from the air fryer and let the egg tarts cool slightly before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Tips for the Perfect Resepi Portuguese Egg Tart Air Fryer:

• Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: This will ensure even cooking and prevent soggy tarts. Work in batches if necessary.
• Use good quality puff pastry: The quality of the puff pastry will significantly impact the final result.
• Adjust cooking time: Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model. Start with the recommended time and adjust as needed.
• Experiment with flavors: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the custard for a unique twist.
