Aubergine flan (as flan in the british cuisine) step by step

  1. Preheat oven to 200oC. Wash the aubergines and place them on a baking tray. Bake them for an hour until melted. It would be much better to grill them since they will get an extra tasty smoky flavor..
  2. Grate the cheeses, Instead of mizithra you can use any salty hard and dry cheese and instead of gaviera a soft, salty and nicely melting cheese. Finely chop the onion, the peppers and parsley..
  3. Prepare the bechamel sauce as follows: mash the butter with the corn flour and boil the milk. Normally people will melt the butter, cook the flour in it and add the milk slowly until the bechamel sauce forms. I do it the other way around because it's much easier and you are guaranteed you will not end up with a lumpy and burned sauce..
  4. Once the bechamel sauce is cooled, add the egg and cheese and mix..
  5. Add some of the olive oil in the oan and slowly cook the onion and peppers..
  6. Once the aubergines are cooked, slice the halveway and remove their "flesh" with a spoon..
  7. Mix the aubergines with the peppers and onions mix which was earlier placed on adsorbing paper yo remove any excess water.Finally add the chopped parsley..
  8. Oil a baking tray and add the solids mix.Then add the bechamel sauce and some black pepoer. Because the cheeses are salty I haven't added any salt, but you can always taste and add some salt if needed..
  9. Bake at 180oC for 30 minutes. You can serve it with a green salad..
  10. Note: Corn flour makes the bechamel sauce silky but you can use any flour you like..

It's simpler than a lasagne and lighter, too. The tomato sauce can be doubled and frozen for another easy dinner. Flan can refer to two different things: either a baked custard dessert topped with caramel similar to the French crème caramel, or a tart-like sweet pastry with a filling called a fruit flan. Because egg-based custard is delicate, flan is baked in a water bath in the oven. Flan (プラン Puran?) is a custard dessert with a layer of soft caramel on top.
