    i thought i hated Flan until this recipe... I usually will test several different recipes (also altering them... BUT not this one.
    It is PERFECT as is... dont change a thing. I made mine with caramel sauce and it is a WINNER.

    After watching this episode (and taking a couple of notes, I'm a nerd this still seemed daunting, but it was so ease to execute. I wasn't a huge fan of using preserves but that could have been because of the preserves I used. Also it was absolutely worth trying this with the preserves. Next time around I will most likely go with caramel sauce as is per tradition (I think. Odd's are I'll be using AB's caramel recipe.

    The flan recipe is great, easy, and almost foolproof. I don't think the recommended toppings are good, however. Caramel and chocolate sauce might work ok, but I used jam, and by the time you chill it, it's a jelly-like mass that sits atop the flan and covers up the flavor. I would recommend putting just sugar on the bottom, and perhaps warming and placing a topping on the flan just before eating.

    I was always a bit intimidated by the though of making flan. This made it accessable to me. Now, I'm in trouble cause everyone likes it.

    A really simple recipe that seems to be all but fool proof.

    This is a super recipe...my husband who has trained as a professional chef could not get enough of the extra smooth texture and when I made it for my step dad's birthday (who happens to be Puerto Rican he said it was better than his mom's! Definately an easy yet on target recipe with many chances for personalization

    Who knew that custard was so simple to make and so delicious to eat? This is a great basic recipe that we've now experimented heavily with and created some great eats.

    This recipe is PERFECT - smooth, creamy, and very straightforward! Instead of the various toppings, I made caramelized sugar, put it in the bottom of a 9" souffle dish, and baked the flan for 40 minutes. It was beautiful. This girl only needs three men in her life: Dad, Husband, and Alton Brown!
