Yam Flan
Ingredients:
– 2 yams, peeled and diced
– 4 eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
– 1/4 tsp nutmeg
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Cooking spray
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a round baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, boil the diced yams in water until they are soft and tender. Drain the yams and mash them until smooth. Set aside to cool.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, Parmesan cheese, parsley, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Add the mashed yams to the egg mixture and stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
5. Pour the yam mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.
6. Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the baking dish to create a water bath.
7. Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake the flan for about 45-50 minutes or until it is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Once the flan is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
9. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it from the baking dish. Place a large plate on top of the dish and quickly invert the flan onto the plate.
10. Garnish the Yam Flan with some additional chopped parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of flavor.
