For the Crust:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  4. Unfold the puff pastry sheet and place it over the custard, trimming edges to fit if needed.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until pastry is puffed and golden and custard is set around edges.
  6. Let cool for 10 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar before serving warm.
