I made a couple of these for my mum today, so she has a vegetarian alternative for Christmas dinner.

It's just a slight variation of all of the flan recipes, but they looked so good I though I would add the recipe.

====Best recipe review====

''Seven years ago!''

4.6/5 

It's a long time since I made this, or any flan to be honest. Time to make amends!

{{RecipeIngredients
| 500 g pack of [[Ready made shortcrust pastry|ready made shortcrust pastry]]
| [[Olive oil]] for greasing
| 4 [[Free range eggs|free range eggs]]

| 100g baby [[Asparagus|asparagus]] tips, [1 small pack]
| 200 g of low-[[Fat|fat]] [[Cream cheese|cream cheese]] - mine was [[Chive|chive]] and [[Onion|onion]] flavoured but that's personal taste
| A splash of [[Louisiana hot pepper sauce]]
| A handful of freshly chopped [[Parsley|parsley]]
| [[Freshly ground black pepper]]
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Preheat the oven to 200° C (400° F - Gas 6)
| On a floured board, roll out the pastry to fit your [[baking tray]]s
| Lightly [[Oil|oil]] the trays to prevent the pastry sticking
| Press the pastry well into the edges of the trays
| Blind [[Bake|bake]] for 10 minutes
| Add the [[Broccoli florets|broccoli florets]] to a pan of [[Boiling|boiling]] [[Salted|salted]] water and [[Blanche|blanche]] for about 4 minutes. Remove and drain well
| Add the [[Eggs|eggs]], [[Milk|milk]], [[Pepper|pepper]], hot [[Sauce|sauce]] and [[Parsley|parsley]] to a large bowl and whisk until combined
| Add the [[Cream cheese|cream cheese]] and whisk until really well mixed
| Arrange the florets in the partially [[Baked|baked]] flans and pour in the [[Egg|egg]] mix
| Arrange the [[Asparagus|asparagus]] tips over the top of the flan
| [[Bake]] for 30 minutes
}}
===Chef's tip===
Because I use an electric whisk, I guess lots of air gets into the flans, so they often rise like soufflés, to at least double the height of the tin. bearing this in mind, ensure you leave enough room above the flan when [[Baking|baking]]!
