Creamy Wild Mushroom Flan

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F.

2. Prepare Mushrooms

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth, and give them a quick rinse if necessary. Trim their ends and cut them into halves or quarters if they are large.

3. Cook Onions

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes soft and starts to color. This will take a few minutes.

4. Cook Mushrooms

Once the onion is ready, add the mushrooms, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms release their juices and those juices almost evaporate. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

5. Prepare Egg Mixture

While the mushrooms are cooking, lightly beat the eggs in a bowl with a fork. Add the heavy cream, crushed garlic, and chopped parsley to the eggs, mixing well. Season this mixture to taste.

6. Combine and Pour

Once the mushrooms and onions are cooked, fold them into the egg and cream mixture. Make sure everything is well combined. Pour this mixture into a wide buttered baking dish or a flan mold.

7. Bake

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes. You'll know the flan is done when it is set and has a slight golden color on top.

8. Cool and Serve

Allow it to cool slightly before serving, so it holds its shape well. Enjoy your creamy wild mushroom flan with a fresh salad or as a delightful side dish.
