🥘Ingredients

For the Caramel

1 cup sugar
2 tbsp water

For the Flan

2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 350°F.
2In a saucepan, combine sugar and water.
3Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves and turns a golden brown color.
4Pour the caramel into a baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
5Set aside to cool.
6In a blender, combine milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, eggs, and granulated sugar.
7Blend until smooth and well combined.
8Gently stir in the crumbled cheese.
9Pour the flan mixture over the cooled caramel in the baking dish.
10Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan.
11Fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
12This will create a water bath, ensuring even cooking.
13Bake for 30 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
14The edges should be firm and slightly puffed.
15Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
16Once cooled, cover the flan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled.
17This will allow the flavors to meld and the flan to set properly.
18When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it from the dish.
19Invert a serving plate over the baking dish and carefully flip it over.
20The flan should slide out easily, revealing the caramel sauce on top.
