Though quiches and pies are a good idea. Flans are quicker to prepare and have the distinguished advantage to contain less calories. This cheddar and bacon flan is a great dish if there are a lot of people. Perfect dish of the moment ’cause let’s face it, January is a month for counting calories however the festive spirit has not completly vanished yet.

But back to flans with:

Ingredients:
225g Cheddar
170g bacon
4 eggs
115g butter (very optional/I don’t)
115g very fine bread crumbs
65cl milk
1 large onion
pepper

Peel & slice the onion finely.  Grate the cheddar.  Slice the bacon into small squares.  In a salad bowl, mix the eggs with the milk, 3/4 of the cheddar, the onion, ground pepper.  Add the bacon and the breadcrumbs here the recipe includes the butter but Hey it is January, remember.

Mix well, transfer to an oven dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs.

Bake in a preheated oven, mark 7/190 °C for 25 minutes

Finish it off under the grill.
