A pastry shell is filled with an egg custard mixture and baked until the filling sets. Hong Kong bakeries use both flaky laminated shells and more crumbly shortcrust-style bases. The filling is smooth, tender and egg-sweet, contrasting with a crisp or crumbly shell. A fresh tart is often warm without a heavily scorched top.
