Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 250 ml Heavy cream
• 100 ml Milk
• 100 g Grated Gruyère cheese
• 100 g Chopped spinach
• 1 small Diced shallot
• 15 g Butter
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease four individual ramekins or a medium-sized baking dish with butter.

Step 2

In a small pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced shallot and sauté until soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chopped spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk. Add the grated Gruyère cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, mixing well to combine.

Step 5

Fold the cooked spinach and shallots into the egg mixture, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins or the baking dish. Place the ramekins or dish in a large roasting pan, and carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins or dish, creating a water bath.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Carefully remove the ramekins or dish from the water bath and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
