For a pretty presentation, use a combination of red, orange, and yellow tear-drop tomatoes. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
2 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 5 ears) |
1 cup 1% low-fat milk |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 teaspoon flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
4 large eggs |
18 small tear-drop cherry tomatoes (pear-shaped), halved |
2 tablespoons thinly sliced basil |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add corn, and cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Set aside 1 cup corn kernels.
3. Place remaining corn in a food processor; pulse 5 times or until coarsely chopped. Add milk and next 5 ingredients (through eggs) to food processor; pulse 4 times or until combined.
4. Pour about 1/2 cup corn mixture into each of 6 (6-ounce) ramekins coated with cooking spray. Place ramekins in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan; add hot water to pan to a depth of 1 inch. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until the center barely moves when ramekins are touched. Remove ramekins from pan; cool 5 minutes on a wire rack. Invert flans onto each of 6 plates. Garnish each serving with about 2 1/2 tablespoons corn kernels, 6 tomato halves, and 1 teaspoon basil.
