Twice now, I've forgotten to put greaseproof paper under the baking beans. Perhaps this picture will remind me next time!

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.


Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200° C (400° F - Gas 6)
  2. On a floured board, roll out the pastry to fit your baking trays
  3. Lightly oil the trays to prevent the pastry sticking
  4. Press the pastry well into the edges of the trays
  5. Blind bake for 10 minutes
  6. Add the broccoli florets to a pan of boiling salted water and blanche for about 4 minutes. Remove and drain well
  7. Add the eggs, milk, pepper, hot sauce and parsley to a large bowl and whisk until combined
  8. Add the cream cheese and whisk until really well mixed
  9. Arrange the florets in the partially baked flans and pour in the egg mix
  10. Arrange the asparagus tips over the top of the flan
  11. 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!
