Broccoli and Cheddar Skillet Flan

Flans do not turn out for me but this one is very good. The Image is something

that I found online.. Mine didnt look exactly like it and Im not sure why but it

was very good..

 

Serves 6

 

6 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Rounded 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup grated sharp Cheddar

1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 large shallot, chopped

1 (1-lb) bag frozen hash browns, thawed in a microwave oven

1 (10-oz) box frozen chopped broccoli, thawed

 

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375F.

 

Whisk together eggs, milk, pepper, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined,

then whisk in Cheddar and 3 tablespoons parmesan.

 

Heat oil in a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet over moderately high heat

until hot but not smoking, then saute shallot, stirring occasionally, until

browned, about 3 minutes. Add hash browns and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and

cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Spread potatoes evenly in skillet and

cook, undisturbed, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and spread broccoli over

potatoes, then pour in egg mixture. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan. Bake until

set 2 inches from edge but still slightly wobbly in center, 12 to 15 minutes.

 

Turn on broiler. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until top is set, puffed, and

golden brown.
