Ingredients
Instructions

- Carefully beat the eggs to avoid bubbles.
- Add the beaten eggs to the milk mixture and mix well.
- Strain the mixture to ensure smoothness before baking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier flan, use whole milk instead of 1% milk. If you prefer a sweeter dessert, increase the sugar to 1/2 cup. Ensure you strain the mixture well to avoid any lumps. Baking in a water bath helps maintain moisture and prevents cracking. Additionally, allow the flan to cool completely before refrigerating to enhance its flavor and texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the flan chilled, drizzled with caramel sauce for added sweetness. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit or whipped cream for a delightful contrast. For a celebratory touch, serve alongside slices of Our Family Birthday Cake, making it a perfect addition to festive gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover flan in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or enjoy it cold. Flan can also be served at room temperature, making it a versatile dessert option.
