Mission Bay Flan

Eating flan can really make you pack in the pounds. This flan recipe uses a lot less sugar and presweetened milks to bring you an airier dish that won't overpower the topping you choose to serve with it.

Mission Bay Flan

8 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup brown sugar

Beat the eggs slightly; add sugar and salt. Blend the milk and vanilla into the mixture.

Sift brown sugar into bottom of eight 5-ounce custard cups or a 1-1/2-quart baking dish. Pour custard mixture over sugar. Place in a shallow baking pan of hot water. Bake at 325 degrees F for 30-40 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Chill overnight. Sprinkle with additional brown sugar before serving or unmold to serve.
