An easy-to-make starter with sophisticated looks. Recipe from Dorie Greenspan in Parade magazine.
Ingredients:
15 ounces pumpkin puree
3 large egg yolks
2 large eggs
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
4 slices crisp-cooked bacon, minced
salt and pepper
sour cream, for topping
orange zest (optional)
Directions:
1. Blend the pumpkin, yolks, eggs, syrup, and sour cream in a food processor until very smooth. Stir in the bacon, salt, and pepper.
2. Coat six -oz. heatproof ramekins with baker's spray and pour in the batter. Place the cups in a roasting pan, add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the cups, and bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
3. Remove from the oven and let the flans rest 20 minutes. Run a blunt knife around the edges of the flans and unmold them onto plates. Top with sour cream and garnish with thin slices of orange zest, if desired. Serve immediately.
