Caramel Flan


I tried this Food Network receipe last weekend. It's a slight variation from EMERIL'S Khalua Flan.

Ingredients
3/4 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 Tbs vanilla
1 Tsp nutmeg

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

In a small saucepan, cook the sugar over medium heat until it starts to melt. Lower the heat and cook until caramelized to a golden brown.

Pour into a baking dish and swirl caramel so it coats the dish evenly.

Place the dish in a larger pan and add hot water to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the condensed and evaporated milks vanilla, nutmeg and whisk well again. Pour into the dish, over the hardened caramel. Bake until set and just firm in the center, about an hour.

Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours.

To serve, run a knife around the rim of the dish. Place a serving platter on top of the flan and gently flip over. Lift away the mold. Voila, you have yourself a flan
