When I think of a flan, I think of a baked egg custard dessert coated in a sticky sauce, and yes, I’d be right, but a breakfast flan is a different kettle of fish. Yep, a breakfast flan is a savoury, egg-based baked dish similar to a crustless quiche or frittata. The difference with the breakfast flan is it is loaded with breakfast ingredients like vegetables, meats and cheese. And don’t forget the eggs.

 

Ingredients to Make a Breakfast Flan

 

Most of the time I make my savoury breakfast flan as a vegetarian dish, but occasionally I add bacon.

The ingredients in my breakfast flan include:

  • a wrap – this acts like a crust.
  • eggs x 3.
  • vegetables/salad items – sweet potato, onion, tomato and spinach.
  • cheese – feta and grated tasty cheese.
  • bacon pieces – sometimes I add bacon pieces

 

What Equipment Do You Need to Make a Breakfast Flan

 

  • chopping board and a knife to chop vegetables.
  • whisk or fork to whisk eggs.
  • frypan to cook vegetables and bacon (if adding).
  • oven friendly bowl that fits your wrap.
  • plate, knife and fork to eat your flan with.

  • while spinach and other ingredients are cooking, prepare eggs in your wrap.
  • in a bowl that fits the wrap, lay the wrap, break eggs into wrap and whisk lightly.

  • add cooked mixture into the eggs, stir lightly so eggs are mixed through the mixture. Add feta if using this ingredient (it doesn’t need cooking).
  • sprinkle with grated cheese and put into oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until egg cooked – almost solid. Note: eggs will continue cooking with the heat in the mixture even after taking out of the oven.
  • Voila – breakfast (or brunch or dinner) is served.
