Whisk together the yolks, condensed milk, and evaporated milk; set aside. Melt margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Fill a large pot approximately 3/4 full with water and bring to a simmer on the stove. Place the pie plate over the simmering water and cook for 65 to 70 minutes, until flan has set. Remove flan from the boiling water and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes.

Madame Cristo - Grilled Ham and Cheese
What started as a croque madame with custard instead of the usual white sauce turned into a Monte Cristo with a poached egg. Unable to call it a croque madame, I turned to Twitter for help. Some dude named Zap Shakur suggested I go with Madame Cristo — grilled ham and cheese, and the rest is history. Top it with poached or fried eggs and garnish with fresh chives.
