week Thrity onE: Monastery eggs

Monastery eggs are make with two main ingredients: lots of eggs and sugar. And yet, after some time, anxiety and patience these two ingredients can be transformed into an unique texture and a delicate flavor.
In Portugal, Monastery eggs are served lukewarm, inside the pan were they spent long time baking. Each of the guests present helps him/herself with the desired portion. In SF, we decided that Monastery eggs deserve not only to taste good, but also to look good. So, we added some home-made lemon candy and serve them inside a mild-flavored pastry cup.
For our big surprised these Monastery eggs were made even more special for us because they were perfectly paired with a lovely 30-year old Port wine!
