The egg tart, the aromatic western dessert, where it was born, is little known. The bustling Lisbon Bellen district, the most conspicuous building is the majestic ornate, exquisite and beautiful Jeronimos monastery, which was built in the 16th century. This is the birthplace of Portuguese egg tarts. It is across the street from the monastery. Since 1837, a shop called pasteis de belem( Bellen egg tarts has been opened. This is the world's first egg tart shop. In the early 19th century, nuns in the abbey used a lot of egg whites to syrup their clothes, in order not to waste the remaining yolks, invented this small cream pastry pastry, quickly popular nationwide, popular in Europe, become people's favorite dessert. In 1820, the Portuguese Freedom Revolution was launched, the abbey was forced to close, the recipe for egg tarts was bought by a sugar factory owner, and next door to the abbey, a dessert shop specializing in egg tarts was opened. After that, egg tarts were introduced to various Portuguese colonies and spread to the world. Today, pasteis de belem is famous and has become one of Lisbon's most famous tourist spots.
