Filipino Egg Pie is a beloved dessert in the Philippines that combines a rich, creamy custard filling with a flaky pie crust. It’s somewhat similar to an egg tart but with a unique Filipino twist. The filling is made from eggs, condensed milk, and evaporated milk, creating a smooth, sweet custard that sets perfectly when baked. The pie is often enjoyed warm or at room temperature and is a popular treat for special occasions or as a sweet snack. Its simplicity and comforting flavor make it a favorite among many Filipinos.
