Ask a question about this stepThanks,Le Bec Fin! I love how you always take my recipes to the next level.
couldn't have the ideas w/o your briliant recipe to inspire! had another 'wrapping/presentation' thought. steam or braise very mild allium greens , overlap them, wrapping around the flan>> aiming again for the surprise element!
Looks like a winner - wonderful flavors. Go, green garlic!
I love this, Mary!! What a great idea!
wow - what a great idea! love the savory flan.

Flan- how beautiful. know what i imagined would be fun next time you serve it for a seated dinner? wrap the flan's sides and top in thin thin slices of roast beef(meat slicer/store deli), and have the guests cut into it and be surprised! and after that first few minutes of oohing and ahing- pass a platter of your sliced roasted beef to complete the serving.yummo!
best,
mindy
p.s. i wonder if you could slide out a chilled flan onto a square of 4 buttered filo layers, wrap and bake it (only takes 20 minutes or so to brown and crisp) and serve it- without the flan getting overcooked/rubbery? See how you inspire us, dy?!
