Steps:

• Equipment: 1 quart flanera or 1 quart round casserole dish with lid AND 1 ovenproof dish or baking pan that the flanera or casserole will fit into.
• Caramel: Some people like to make caramel by adding water to sugar and then cooking it to a nice dark golden brown, and some just like to melt the sugar to golden without water. Either method will work here. If you are using a flanera, which is a metal pan with a lock-down lid, you can make the caramel right in the flanera. If you are using a casserole dish, make the caramel in a saucepan and pour into the bottom of the casserole dish.
• Custard: As you prepare the custard, the caramel will cool. In a separate bowl, beat the 1 whole egg and 5 egg yolks together. A whisk works very well here. Add the evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk to the eggs and mix together. Add the vanilla extract, either 1/2 teaspoon or 1 teaspoon depending on what strength you prefer. Pour the custard mixture into the flanera or casserole dish over the hardened caramel. Put on the lid.
• Put your flan into the ovenproof dish or baking pan and fill with hot water to about half-way up the sides, or as high as you can go and still move the thing without spilling hot water on yourself.
• Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Turn off the oven and let set for another 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and the water-bath and let cool.
• Plating: Run a butter-knife around the outside edge of the flan. Place a plate large enough to handle the liquid caramel over the flan and invert. Chill the flan for at least an hour before serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Pre heat Convection or conventional oven at 350.
• Put the sugar in a pan at high temperature. When the sugar starts melting lower to medium heat and take the pan from the heat and move in circular directions, put it back to the heat for few seconds and move the pan again until the sugar is totally melted. Be careful with sugar. It could burn you really bad. And it could get burn itself. If that happens, start over with a new cup of sugar.
• Put the caramel (melted sugar) inside the baking dish and move it around, so all the bottom of the dish is cover in caramel.
• Put all the rest of the ingredients in the blender. Blend for 2 minutes.
• Pour the mix into the baking dish, over the caramel.
• Put it in water bath. It means, put a bigger baking dish inside the oven, then put the baking dish that holds the flan mix inside the big baking dish and add very hot water inside the bigger baking plate. Do not add water into the flan mix. Put an inch or so of hot water, so the caramel doesn't burn while cooking in the oven.
• Bake it for 60 minutes (1 Hour).
• Put it away without the big baking dish. Let it cool for 30 minutes.
• When is cold put a big flat dish on top of the baking dish and flip it. You will see the flan with the caramel on top.
• Enjoy it!
• Don't forget to put extra caramel on top of each portion you serve :D yum yumm!
