School dinner series - Episode 1 Old School Cheese Flan. I haven’t had a cheese flan since I was at school and this took me straight back there. It was thicker than we had at school but I honestly loved every bite! Recipe: 6 eggs 170ml milk Tsp English mustard Salt and black pepper (plenty of pepper) 180-200g grated mature cheddar cheese 320g ready to roll or homemade short crust pastry Line your tin/dish with your pastry and prick it with a fork then blind bake it in a preheated oven on 180 for 15 min. Whilst it’s baking whisk your eggs and milk together, add in your mustard and season with salt and pepper. When your pastry comes out, add your grated cheese first, then your liquid mixture. Turn the oven down to 160 and bake for around 30-35 minutes until it’s golden on top and only has a slight wobble when you move the dish. You don’t want it to be completely solid when you take it out because that will be dry and overcooked. It needs to have a little wobble then it can rest for 5-10 min and it will settle. Serve with chips and beans if you want to be transported back to the early 90s like me. Keep your eyes peeled for episode 2, I’m being joined by my cousin, she’s an amazing cake maker/baker and will be showing you all how to make the first school dinner sweet treat! - - - #schooldinners #schoollunch #schoolmeals #schoolfood #FoodTok
