Microwave flan: a quick and easy last-minute dessert

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1+1/3 cups sweetened condensed milk
• 1+1/4 cups milk

For the caramel:

• 1/3 cup sugar
• a little water

Materials

• Microwave-safe dish (14x22 cm)

Preparation

• Make the caramel: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar and a little water, and let it cook until the caramel forms. Immediately pour it into the bottom of a microwave-safe dish.
• In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, and milk.
  
• Pour the mixture into the dish over the caramel.
• Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Open the microwave for 30 seconds, then microwave again for 3 minutes. Open for another 30 seconds and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  
• Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean. You can cook it for 1 more minute if needed. Allow it to cool completely before unmolding.
• And there you have it, your microwave flan is ready!
  

Observations

Can I use store-bought caramel for this recipe? Absolutely, it will make the dessert even quicker to prepare! Line the bottom of the dish with caramel before pouring in the mixture.
