Method

10 steps · 45 min

01
Butter Ramekins
Butter 6 (4-ounce) ramekins generously. Pop them in the refrigerator to chill and let the butter harden, then give them a second coat. This double buttering helps the flans release cleanly.
02
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
03
Heat Olive Oil
Warm the olive oil in a medium skillet over low heat.
04
Cook Leeks
Add the leeks, shallots, and salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are translucent but still have a bit of texture, about 10 minutes.
05
Heat Cream Mixture
In a medium saucepan, combine the whipping cream and half-and-half. Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately turn off the heat and let it cool down.
06
Blend Flan Base
Transfer the cooked leek mixture to a blender, adding the cooled cream mixture and egg whites. Blend until completely smooth, which should take about 30 seconds.
Carefully spoon the blended mixture into your prepared ramekins.
07
Arrange Ramekins
Arrange the filled ramekins in a large baking pan.
08
Add Water Bath
Pour boiling water into the baking pan, being careful not to splash into the flans, until the water reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
09
Bake Flan
Carefully transfer the baking pan with the water bath to the preheated oven.
10
Bake and Serve
Bake until the flans are set. This usually takes about 35 to 40 minutes; a knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
To serve, carefully unmold the flans. Garnish each with 2 (3-inch) pieces of chives, crossed over the top.
