Flans of Peas and Bacon Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of frozen peas, thawed
• 3 slices of bacon, chopped
• 1/2 cup of heavy cream
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a pan, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. In a blender, mix the thawed peas until smooth.
4. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and then add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
5. Add the blended peas and bacon into the mixing bowl and stir until everything is well combined.
6. Divide the mixture evenly into 6 ramekins.
7. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and add enough hot water to the dish, so that it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the flans are set and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
9. Remove the ramekins from the baking dish and let them cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Serving suggestions:

These flans can be served as a side dish to a main meal or as a light lunch with a salad on the side. They are also great for brunch or as a party appetizer. Serve them warm or at room temperature with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or chives on top.

Verdict:

They are easy to make, and you can prepare them in advance, as they can be served at room temperature. They are a great way to showcase seasonal produce and impress your guests with a fancy-looking dish.
