Total Time: 2 hrs Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 4 cups eggnog
• 5 large eggs

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 325 degrees f. stir the sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a medium skillet. bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, swirling the pan but not stirring, until deep amber, 5-7 minutes. pour the caramel into a shallow 10-inch round cake pan, tilting the pan so the caramel evenly coats the bottom.
• 2 bring a kettle of water to a boil. whisk the eggnog and eggs in a large bowl until smooth, being careful not to beat in too much air. pour the eggnog mixture over the caramel in the pan, then place in a large roasting pan. fill the roasting pan with enough boiling water to come halfway up the side of the cake pan.
• 3 loosely cover the roasting pan with foil and bake 1 hour. remove the foil and continue baking until the custard is set but still quivers, 40 minutes to 1 hour.
• 4 remove the flan from the roasting pan and let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until cold and set, about 2 hours. to serve, run a thin knife around the edge of the flan, place an inverted flat plate over the pan and flip to unmold.
