Flan is a classic and creamy dessert loved by many. But have you ever thought about making it with bread? This unique twist adds a new dimension of flavor and texture to the traditional flan. In this blog post, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of creating a delicious flan using bread. Let's get started!

Ingredients

  • 8 slices of bread
  • 4 cups of milk
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Bread

Start by removing the crusts from the bread slices. Cut each slice into quarters or smaller pieces, depending on your preference. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Caramel

In a saucepan, melt the granulated sugar over medium heat until it turns into a golden caramel. Make sure to constantly stir the sugar to avoid burning. Once the caramel is ready, pour it into a baking dish or individual ramekins, spreading it evenly at the bottom. Set aside to cool and harden.

Step 3: Prepare the Flan Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Add the prepared bread pieces to the mixture and let them soak for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid.

Step 4: Bake the Flan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the caramel-coated baking dish or ramekins inside a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with water, creating a water bath that reaches about halfway up the sides of the smaller dish. This will ensure even cooking and prevent the flan from drying out.

Pour the bread and milk mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish or ramekins. Make sure the bread is evenly distributed. Cover the smaller dish with aluminum foil.

Place the baking pan with the flan into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until the flan is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Once the flan is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. Then, place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight to chill and set further.

To serve, carefully invert the flan onto a serving platter, allowing the caramel to flow over the top. Cut into slices or serve as individual ramekins, garnishing with additional caramel if desired. Enjoy!
