Traditional Cuban Flan

Ingredients

• 10 eggs
• 2 cans sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cans evaporated milk
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 5 tbsp. white sugar
   

Instruction

1. Stir all ingredients except sugar together, mixing well with a fork.
2. In a small saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat until it dissolves and forms a liquid, swirling occasionally. Lift slightly over heat source until the sugar turns a dark golden brown.
3. Pour caramelized sugar into a 9×13 glass casserole dish, swirling the dish to coat.
4. Pour the egg and milk mixture on top of the caramelized sugar.
5. Place the filled casserole dish into a larger glass pan, then add an inch of hot water to the outer pan.
6. Bake in 350-degree oven for about an hour or until set.
7. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the pan and turn over to release flan. 

To make a coconut version of the cuban flan, substitute shredded coconut for the vanilla extract.
