Corn Flan Recipes

Steps:

• Strip kernels from corn. Combine them with milk in a blender, and blend. (Mixture will not be perfectly smooth.) Pour into a saucepan, and heat gently until steam rises, about 5 minutes. Cover, and steep 10 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 300 degrees, and set a kettle of water to boil. Grease bottoms and sides of four 6-ounce ramekins with butter.
• Strain corn-milk mixture into a large bowl, and discard contents of strainer. Add salt to taste to the milk in the bowl. (Oversalt just a bit.) In a small bowl, beat eggs and yolk together, and add a little of the strained milk to warm. Pour the egg-milk mixture into the milk. Add spices, and pour into ramekins.
• Put ramekins in a deep roasting pan or an ovenproof skillet, and add boiling water about halfway up their sides. Bake about 20 minutes, until barely set (still quite jiggly in the middle). Leave flans in ramekins or remove them by inverting each over a plate about 15 minutes after they come out of the oven. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Coat six 4-oz flan molds with nonstick spray or olive oil.
• Blend corn, half and half and feta in a blender until almost smooth.
• Add the eggs, yolks, salt and pepper pulsing to combine.
• Place the flan dishes in a roasting pan and fill with corn mixture.
• Place the pan in the oven and pour hot water half-way up the sides of the flan dishes.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tip of a knife comes out clen.
• Remove flans from the water bath and cool 3 to 5 minutes before unmolding on serving plates.
• For the shrimp, combine the flour and seasonings in a bowl; add the shrimp and toss well to coat.
• In a large skillet, warm the oil and butter over medium-high heat, add the shrimp and cook just until browned on both sides but not cooked through; transfer to a plate.
• Deglaze the pan with wine, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of pan.
• Simmer until reduced by half, approximately 2 to 4 minutes; add the broth and simmer an additional 2 to 4 minutes.
• Add shrimp back to pan and cook until firm and sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in butter and let melt; spoon the shrimp and sauce over unmolded flans; garnish with chopped chives.

Steps:

• Simmer heavy cream with 1 cup of corn and caraway for 6 to 8 minutes. Puree in food processor and strain.
• Using egg scissors, remove the top of 12 brown eggs. In a bowl, whisk 4 eggs, slowly adding cream to the bowl while whisking. Reserve remaining eggs for another use. Season with salt and pepper.
• Rinse the inner shells of all 12 shells and remove any loose shell with your fingers. (If egg scissors aren't available, use serrated knife). Place eggshells back in original cardboard container (not styrofoam) and fill 2/3 of the way with egg and cream mixture.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the eggs, in the cardboard container, in a baking pan with 1-inch of water. Cover with foil. Bake for 35 minutes. Cut salmon slices into thin strips or julienne. Toss strips with chives, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Top each egg with the seasoned julienne salmon. Serve with an espresso spoon and a cocktail fork, in an eggcup or a bed of salt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking soda and sea salt. Set aside. If using frozen corn, make sure it is well-defrosted and drained.
• Warm a nonstick skillet over high heat and toss corn in to dry and toast slightly. In a bowl, combine cooked corn with 7 tablespoons melted butter, the eggs, cayenne and sour cream. Using a few swift strokes, add dry ingredients. Stir in cheese and shaved truffle, reserving just enough truffle to garnish flan before serving.
• Use remaining tablespoon butter to grease 8 6-ounce ramekins. Spoon mixture into ramekins, cover each with foil and place in a baking pan. Add boiling water to pan until it reaches halfway up ramekins. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest, covered, for 10 minutes before serving. Flan can be served, garnished with additional truffle slices, in ramekin or loosened and turned out on a plate.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Whisk together eggs, cream, and syrup in a large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients and let stand 15 minutes.
• Spoon into a buttered 9- by 5- by 3-inch loaf pan (preferably nonstick) and bake in middle of oven until puffed and set in center, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool 10 minutes, then invert flan onto a plate. Cut crosswise into 8 slices.

Steps:

• Place sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts and turns a golden amber color, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully once syrup begins to change color, because it burns easily. Carefully pour the melted sugar syrup into a flan mold. Let cool.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pour whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, egg yolks, orange juice, orange peel, vanilla extract, and cornstarch into a blender, and blend for a minute or so, until the mixture is smooth. Pour in the cream, and pulse several times to incorporate the cream. Pour the mixture over the cooled caramel syrup in the flan mold.
• Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the flan mold on the towel, inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the center of the flan is set but still slightly jiggly when moved, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let the flan cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. To serve, run a sharp paring knife around the inside of the mold to release the flan. Invert a plate on the mold, flip the mold over, and gently remove the mold to unmold the flan and reveal the syrupy caramel topping.

Steps:

• Make flans:
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cook corn in a pot of boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool.
• Cut off kernels with a sharp knife into a bowl, scraping ears. Reserve 3/4 cup for relish and purée remainder in a blender with milk until smooth. Force corn purée through a fine sieve into a bowl, discarding skins.
• Whisk together eggs, salt, and cayenne until blended and whisk in corn purée.
• Pour flan mixture into lightly oiled ramekins and bake in a hot-water bath just until set, about 40 minutes.
• Remove ramekins from water bath and cool on a rack. Chill until cold, about 2 hours.
• Make relish:
• Stir together corn, tomatoes, onion, and basil. Stir in oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
• Run a thin knife around edge of each flan, then invert flans onto plates. Spoon relish over them.
