Tomato Flan with Avocado
Preparation and cooking time:
35 minutes
These simple flans have the look and consistency of a soufflé without the work. Combine them with a sliced avocado and a bit of creamy dressing for a colorful first course.
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs, 195gr, 6.8oz
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 113gr, 4oz
- 3 tbs Greek yogurt or plain yogurt, 56gr, 2oz, Greek1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 ripe avocado, 170gr, 6oz
- Yogurt Dressing
- 2 tbs Greek or plain yogurt, 37.5gr, 1.3oz
- 2 tsp mayonnaise, 9.8gr, .34oz
- 2 tsp Dijon-style mustard, 10gr, .35oz
Instructions:
- Prepare ramekins: butter and line the bottom with buttered wax or parchment paper (see techniques ).
- Make and butter a circle of paper for the top as well.
- Whisk eggs, tomato sauce, herbs and yogurt together and pour into ramekins.
- Put paper circle on top - it doesn't need to touch.
- Put into a roasting pan with deep sides - I use a metal bread pan, and add hot water (hot tap water is fine) so that it comes half way up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 450F (220C) - they should be set - firm on top.
- Remove from oven and from hot water. Run a table knife around the sides to loosen (if necessary).
- Put a small plate over top of ramekin and flip over. Remove ramekin, and paper from top (formerly bottom) of timbale. Carefully turn back so top is up. Remove paper.
- Cut avocado and remove pit. Slice thinly and fan slices around flan.
- Mix mayonnaise, yogurt and mustard. Add half to each plate and serve.
