Egg pie is a sweet Filipino delicacy and it resembles the egg custard. This dessert is very well known and even many local bakeries sell this. But it was not as delicious as many years before maybe because of cost cutting. When I was a kid this is my favorite dessert and I can consume almost 3/4 of the whole pie! You can try this recipe and bake your own egg pie if you think that those sold in bakeries can’t satisfy your craving of a true egg pie with all the exact ingredients and not using extenders.
