About the dish

Pudim Abade de Priscos is a traditional flan dessert, specifically from the Braga region in the north of Portugal. Known for its rich flavor and smooth texture, it is made with a unique combination of ingredients that include eggs, sugar, and a distinctive component: bacon. This ingredient might sound unusual for a dessert, but it's what gives the Pudim Abade de Priscos its special flavor and silky texture. The dessert is named after a 19th-century priest from Priscos, Abade de Priscos, who was renowned for his culinary skills. The original recipe is known for having a high number of egg yolks, contributing to its rich and creamy consistency, and it is usually flavored with Port wine or other aromatics such as lemon or orange zest and cinnamon, which add complexity to its taste.
