<\/p>\nGarlic Flan<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1 head of fresh garlic with large cloves<\/p>\n
2 cups heavy cream<\/p>\n
1\/2 teaspoon dried thyme<\/p>\n
1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n
1\/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper<\/p>\n
4 egg yolks<\/p>\n
Butter for the ramekins or dish<\/p>\n
2 tablespoons chopped chives for garnish<\/p>\n
Equipment:<\/p>\n
Six 3-1\/2 inch ramekins or a souffl\u00c3\u00a9 dish<\/p>\n
Potato masher<\/p>\n
Whisk<\/p>\n
Baking pan that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s as deep as the ramekins\/dish<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 350\u00c2\u00ba F (175\u00c2\u00ba C). Start boiling 2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Pull the head of garlic apart, but leave the cloves unpeeled. Have the water boiling, and drop the garlic cloves in. Lower the heat, and cook for 5 minutes. Drain the garlic onto a medium bowl and allow it to cool. In the meantime, butter the ramekins or souffl\u00c3\u00a9 dish well. Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl. Put the saucepan aside for later (no need to rinse). Start boiling 4 cups of water in a kettle for the final baking in a bain-marie. Squeeze each garlic clove \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the cooked garlic will emerge from the root end, not the pointy top. Discard the peels. Mash the garlic with a potato masher until you obtain a paste. Pour the cream into the saucepan and add the garlic paste. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the thyme, salt and pepper. Take the saucepan off the heat. Add the beaten egg yolks to the cream mixture and whisk to distribute them well. Spoon the cream into buttered ramekins or souffl\u00c3\u00a9 dish. Place in the baking dish and put the whole thing in the oven. Pour enough boiling water into the baking dish to come up halfway up the sides of the ramekins\/dish. This is important: less than halfway up, and the cream won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t cook all the way through. Bake for 25 minutes. Peek into the oven after 15 minutes. The top will caramelize, but if it looks like it might burn, place a layer of tin foil lightly over the tops of the ramekins\/dish. If serving in ramekins, wait 10 minutes before turning them upside down to serve. If using a souffl\u00c3\u00a9 dish, serve the flan out of it in generous spoonfuls. Either way, garnish with chopped chives<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
