Vanilla Bean Flan
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
-
In a saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat until it turns into a golden caramel.
-
Pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting it to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside.
-
In another saucepan, heat the milk, cream, and scraped vanilla bean over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously.
-
Strain the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
-
Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
-
Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
-
Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
-
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the baking dish and invert the flan onto a serving plate. The caramel will drizzle over the top.
-
Slice and enjoy!
