Flan

When I first met my husband. He was going crazy with flan- as in he would make it ALL THE TIME. This was because he decided to buy eggs in bulk (when he was single) and he didn’t know what else to do with them! So what better way to get rid of eggs than make flan!

Basically what we did:

1.      Preheat oven to 350. Warm the glass dish

2.      Make the egg mixture first. Beat 4 eggs, beat in evaporated milk, vanilla, then condensed milk (last ingred) until smooth.

3.      In medium saucepan, melt sugar on LOW heat. Swirl around. Might take a while…

4.      Quickly pour into glass dish that’s been warmed and cover whole thing

5.      Pour egg mixture in, potentially straining if clumps

6.      Cover with aluminum foil

7.      Bake for 60 min in water bath

8.      Before serving, might want to warm bottom of pan so caramel comes out…
