1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Prepare a caramel by heating sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until it melts and turns golden brown.

3

Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.

4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

5

Pour the egg mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.

6

Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and fill the pan with water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish.

7

Cover the flan dish with aluminum foil.

8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.

9

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

10

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set further.

11

To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a serving plate.
