Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time45 minutes
Total Time1 hour
Course: first course, Main Course
Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 head Broccoli
  • 600 g fresh Spinach 1 1/2 lb
  • 3 Eggs
  • 25 g Butter 1 Tbsp
  • 1 bunch Basil large
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 180 C (350 F).
  • Cut the broccoli into florets and boil it in salt water for 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Wash and steam the spinach.
  • Saute the broccoli and spinach with the butter for 5 minutes.
  • Put the vegetables in a blender with all the other ingredients and blend until you have a smooth mixture.
  • Scrape the mixture into a greased tart pan, or individual souffle containers, depending on how thick you would like the flan.
  • At this point, if you like you can sprinkle breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan cheese (or both) over the top.  I've tried it with various combinations and all are good.  It's also good without any topping.
  • Bake in the oven for 45 - 50 minutes.

Notes

This flan can be eaten warm or at room temperature.
