If you don’t have an oven and want to make egg tarts, you can try using a microwave. Although using a microwave to make egg tarts will have a different flavor than those made in a normal oven, you can still make delicious egg tarts.
1. Method
1. Choose a microwave-safe container to place the dough. It is recommended to use a non-stick round cake plate made of porcelain or silicone.
2. Divide the dough into small pieces, press it into a thin round crust according to the size of the cake mold, heat it in the microwave on high heat for about 30 seconds, take it out and let it cool for later use.
3. Prepare the egg tart filling. Since microwave heating is faster, you can add the egg liquid to the milk, then put it in the microwave and heat it over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, take it out and let it cool.
4. Pour the egg liquid into the egg tart mold with the crust placed, place it in the microwave and heat it over high heat for 2-3 minutes or until the egg tart filling is solidified. You can take it out halfway and use a bamboo skewer to pop the bubbles and take it out. Let cool for a while and then serve.
2. Precautions
1. The heating time should be adjusted according to the power of the microwave oven, and should not be overheated or too short.
2. When baking egg tarts in a microwave oven, be careful to cover them with oven paper or the egg tart mold to prevent the egg tart filling from exploding.
3. Microwave ovens heat quickly and require constant observation to prevent overcooking or overcooking.
4. When using a microwave to heat egg liquid, heat it slowly first and observe it at appropriate intervals to avoid burns.
