Ingredients
- 200 grams Canadian bacon
- 150 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 units large eggs
- 250 milliliters heavy cream
- 100 milliliters whole milk
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9-inch (23 cm) flan or pie dish with the unsalted butter.
Step 2
Slice the Canadian bacon into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined.
Step 4
Sift the all-purpose flour into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Ensure the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Stir in the Canadian bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the greased flan dish, spreading the bacon and cheese evenly throughout the dish.
Step 7
Place the flan dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted into it comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. This allows the flavors to settle and makes slicing easier.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Canadian Bacon and Cheddar Cheese Flan!
