Flan (Caramel Custard)
A Spanish- and Latin-style custard dessert: caramelize sugar and let it set at the bottom of a dish, then pour in a smooth egg-milk-sugar custard strained through a sieve and steam gently until set. With just 2 eggs, milk, and sugar, you can make a silky, jiggly homemade flan.

Let the flan cool slightly, then chill it in the refrigerator so it sets into a clean shape. Invert it onto a plate to enjoy it the classic way, with the caramel sauce flowing over the top.
