Steps:
- Finely grate zest from grapefruit; set aside. Cut away peel and white pith from flesh; discard. Working over a bowl, cut along membranes to release segments into bowl; discard membranes. Set segments aside.
- Cook 1 cup sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to melt and turn brown around the edges. Using a heatproof rubber spatula, pull melted sugar at edges toward center of unmelted sugar. Continue cooking, pulling in melted sugar, until all the sugar is melted and caramel is uniformly dark brown (it should smell toasty but not burnt), 10-12 minutes total (if you still have undissolved lumps of sugar, stir off heat until they melt). Divide caramel between two 8"-diameter shallow ceramic ovenproof baking dishes or two 9x5" loaf pans, preferably glass or ceramic, to create a 1/8"-1/4" deep layer. Let cool.
- Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 275°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Purée eggs and egg yolks with remaining 2/3 cup sugar in a blender until smooth and sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl and gently mix in cream, milk, salt, and reserved grapefruit zest; let sit 5 minutes. Strain into a large measuring glass. Divide custard between prepared baking dishes.
- Line a roasting pan with a thick kitchen towel; this will keep baking dishes from sliding and will insulate flan, preventing it from overcooking. Set dishes on towel and place roasting pan in oven. Pour very hot water into pan until it reaches the same level as flan in baking dishes. Bake flan until it looks set like Jell-O (it will wobble when gently shaken), 40-55 minutes. Transfer dishes to a wire rack; let flan cool.
- Run a small knife around edges of flan to loosen. Invert onto a platter and top with reserved grapefruit segments.
- Flan can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Unmold and bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:
- Add about 2 tablespoons of the sugar to a small saucepan over low heat. Allow the sugar to melt, about 15 minutes. Gradually add a tablespoon of sugar at a time, slowly swirling it and allowing it to melt in before adding the next tablespoon. This is a long process, which needs constant attention to avoid burning. When all the sugar is completely melted, it will become a rich, dark caramel color, about 40 to 45 minutes.
- Carefully pour the caramel into a 9-inch cake pan, coating the bottom of the pan. Allow to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare a water bath: Place a large roasting pan on the middle rack of the oven. Bring about 2 quarts of water to a boil, then carefully pour it into the roasting pan in the oven.
- When the caramel is cool, slowly whisk together the egg yolks in a medium bowl, then add the evaporated milk, condensed milk, vanilla extract and lemon zest (if using). Whisk gently to avoid adding air into the custard. Air will cause bubbles, taking away from the smooth and dense texture.
- Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into the cake pan. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Once the oven is at 350 degrees F, carefully place the cake pan in the water bath.
- Bake until the center of the custard is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Remove the cake pan from the water and allow the custard to cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 hours and up to 5 days.
- To serve, unmold the flan: Allow the flan to come to room temperature (see Cook's Note). Take a sharp paring knife and run it between the edge of the flan and the cake pan. Hold a large plate firmly over the pan and, in one smooth motion, invert the plate and pan. Carefully remove the pan.
