Indulge in a unique twist on traditional flan that combines the rich flavors of bacon and cheese—an irresistible treat that transforms dessert into a savory delight!

1

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). This will ensure that your flan cooks evenly.

2

In a pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan, chop it into small pieces, and set aside.

3

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, eggs, and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. This will serve as the base of your flan.

4

Add the grated parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and baking powder to the mixture, and blend again until fully incorporated.

5

Gently fold in the chopped bacon into the mixture.

6

Grease a flan mold or a round cake pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

7

Pour the bacon and cheese mixture into the prepared mold.

8

Place the mold in a larger baking dish filled with hot water (this is called a water bath, and it helps the flan cook gently).

9

Bake for about 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

10

Once done, remove the mold from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.

11

Serve chilled. You may garnish with additional crispy bacon bits on top for added crunch and flavor.
