Whether roasted, sautéed, or boiled, this versatile ingredient is a tasty substitute for potatoes, adding an earthy and slightly sweet flavor to any dish. One of the best ways to enjoy Jerusalem artichokes is by turning them into a delicious flan.

A flan is a classic French dish that refers to a kind of baked custard made of eggs, cream, and milk. It can be sweet or savory, depending on the ingredients used. In this recipe, we’ll combine Jerusalem artichokes with eggs, milk, cream, and cheese, to make a savory and creamy flan that’s perfect for lunch or dinner. Here’s how to make it.

Ingredients:

– 500g of Jerusalem artichokes, peeled and sliced
– 4 eggs
– 1 cup of milk
– 1 cup of heavy cream
– 1/2 cup of grated cheese (Gruyere, Parmesan or any other hard cheese)
– 1 garlic clove, minced
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 tablespoons of butter
– Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F.

2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent.

3. Add the sliced Jerusalem artichokes to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, or until they become tender and slightly caramelized. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

4. Once the Jerusalem artichokes are cooked, transfer them to a blender, and puree until smooth.

6. Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Pour the Jerusalem artichoke mixture into the dish, and spread it evenly.

7. Bake the flan in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until it’s set and golden brown on top.

8. Once the flan is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

9. You can serve the Jerusalem artichoke flan warm or at room temperature. For an extra touch of flavor, you can sprinkle some fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or thyme on top of the flan.
