This is a Trouxas-de-Ovos, a sweet dessert popular in Portugal around harvest time. It's a rolled wrap made from sweetened egg yolks. The plentiful yolks are a byproduct of the wine business-- wineries use lots of the whites for fining the wines, so when left with bucketloads of yolks, they make this dessert. Find a recipe here.
It's interesting to see how the ins and outs of winemaking have helped to drive regional cuisine. This is just one example of many-- egg yolks feature prominently in Portuguese pastries.
