3. **Bake** — Place the Baking tray in the Oven. Bake at 190°C with both top and bottom heat for 10–20 minutes.

4. **Remove from Oven** — Remove when the custard has caramelized spots and the tart shells are fully puffed and glistening with oil.
   - Duration: 1 min
   - Tip: Always wear Oven mitts when removing to avoid burns.
   - Tip: Adjust the final few minutes based on the size of the caramelized spots.
