This flan de queso is my favorite recipe, learned from my mother. People love it and ask me for the recipe every time they try it, so here it is. I find it tastes better cold.
Ingredients
- 1 , 14 ounce
- 1 , 12 fluid ounce
- 6 large eggs
- 1 , 8 ounce
- 0.33 cups 2% milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white sugar
Instructions
-
1
Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
2
Place sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract in a blender; blend until smooth.
-
3
Place sugar in an even layer in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the edges start to brown, about 1 minute; drag sugar into the center with a spatula once the edges start to brown. Continue cooking, stirring from time to time, until caramel is an even golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, pour 1 inch boiling water into a large oven-safe pot or baking dish to make a water bath.
-
5
Pour caramel into a 9-inch flan mold or baking pan; swirl so that caramel reaches 1 inch up the sides. Pour the condensed milk mixture on top. Set in the water bath.
-
6
Set the flan and water bath in the preheated oven; bake until a damp table knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes.

7
Chill flan in the refrigerator until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Invert onto a serving plate so that caramel is on top.

Sheet Pan Hash Browns
These oven-baked hash browns are perfect for breakfast or as a side dish for dinner. This is a basic recipe, but feel free to include add-ins, such as different cheeses, eggs, bell peppers, chives, or a variety of herbs and spices to change up the flavor. And as a bonus, you can cook your bacon in the oven at the same time, just not as long. Leftover hash browns can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or frozen in a zip-top plastic bag.
