Flan de Huevo

A Spanish snack built around eggs and sweetened condensed milk — on the table in 75 minutes. At 386 calories and 16g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 5 Eggs
• 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 3/4 cup Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 1 strip Lemon peel

Steps

1. Melt the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling the pan, until it turns deep amber — don't stir with a spoon or it crystallizes.
2. Pour the caramel into a round mold and tilt to coat the bottom evenly; it hardens fast, so work quickly.
3. Whisk the eggs, condensed milk, regular milk, vanilla, and lemon peel just until combined — whisking too much makes bubbles that scar the flan.
4. Pour through a strainer into the mold and bake in a water bath at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, until the center barely trembles.
5. Chill overnight for the cleanest slice and the deepest caramel flavor.
6. Run a knife around the edge and invert onto a platter so the caramel floods over the top.
