Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9-inch (23 cm) flan or pie dish with the unsalted butter.
Slice the Canadian bacon into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Ensure the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the Canadian bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Pour the mixture into the greased flan dish, spreading the bacon and cheese evenly throughout the dish.
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.
Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. This allows the flavors to settle and makes slicing easier.
Garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Canadian Bacon and Cheddar Cheese Flan!
