Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 Cups white sugar, divided
• 2 Cups milk
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 4 Whole eggs

Steps

1. Heat 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan over medium heat without stirring until it melts and turns golden brown. Pour the caramel into a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie plate, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
2. In a large bowl, mix the milk, remaining 2 cups of sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until well blended. Pour this mixture into the prepared pie plate.
3. Cook in the microwave at 50% power for 7 minutes, then increase to 100% power for 8 minutes. Check if done by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean. If not, continue cooking in 1-minute intervals, checking each time. Allow to cool and refrigerate before serving.
4. To serve, warm the bottom of the pie plate over a pan of simmering water to loosen the caramelized sugar. Place a serving plate on top of the dish and invert so that the flan is on the serving dish with the caramelized coating on top. Enjoy your delicious microwave flan!
