Correct answer: Pastel de nata

Jerónimos Monastery monks used leftover egg whites to starch their clothes, which left them with an abundance of egg yolks. To avoid waste, they created the delicious pastel de nata, a custard tart with a flaky crust. Following the monastery's closure in 1834, the secret recipe was sold to a nearby sugar refinery, which still bakes them today. Photo: Mon Œil, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0.
