Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • 1 tablespoon soft butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon flour
  • 4 teaspoons minced chives
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 pinch grated nutmeg
  • 200 g heavy cream
  • 100 g roquefort, crumbled with a fork
  • 80 g smoked bacon, cut into 3/32" square strips

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 390ºF. Prepare 4 small (120 grams) ramekins by brushing their interiors with the soft butter.
  • 2
    Whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and cream together, and combine with the cheese, flour, half the chives, pepper, and nutmeg in the jar of a blender. Process at high speed. Divide the mixture between the ramekins.
  • 3
    Place the ramekins in a water bath with the water filled two-thirds the height of the ramekins. Cover the ramekins with a piece of parchment paper and bake until firm, about 35 minutes.
  • 4
    Let the ramekins rest, out of the water bath, for a couple of minutes before unmolding.
  • 5
    Before serving, cook the bacon in a frying pan until hot, but not crisp. Drain briefly.
  • 6
    Unmold the custards on individual serving plates. Divide the bacon over the "flans" (custard). Sprinkle the remaining chives over the tops.
  • Ready !
