Here’s a recipe for Easy Egg Flan, including ingredient quantities, instructions, and approximate nutrition information:
Ingredients:
For the caramel:
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60ml) water
For the flan:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 can (14 oz/400g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz/340g) evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a roasting pan filled with about an inch of water in the oven to create a water bath for baking the flan.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water for the caramel. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and let the mixture cook until it turns a deep amber color, swirling the pan occasionally to ensure even caramelization. Be careful not to let it burn.
- Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan or flan mold, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooled caramel in the cake pan or flan mold.
- Carefully place the cake pan or flan mold into the roasting pan with the water bath in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, cover the flan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to chill and set completely.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it from the pan. Place a serving plate over the top of the pan, then quickly invert the pan to release the flan onto the plate.
- Slice and serve the Easy Egg Flan chilled, either plain or with whipped cream or fresh fruit on top.
