Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a blender, combine 4 eggs and 1 can of sweetened condensed milk.

Pour 3/4 of the can of evaporated milk into the blender with the other ingredients.

Add regular milk to the blender, just a little more than the evaporated milk.

Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract to the blender and blend until smooth.

Pour 3/4 cup of sugar into the flan pan to make caramel.

Melt the sugar over medium heat until it turns golden brown, then pour it into the flan pan.

Prepare boiling water for the double boiler.

Place the flan pan into a larger pan and pour boiling water into the larger pan up to half the height of the flan pan.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Check if the flan is done using a toothpick; if it comes out clean, it's ready.

Remove the flan pan from the double boiler and let it cool.

Refrigerate the flan for several hours before serving.

Use a spatula or knife to separate the edges of the flan from the pan before inverting it onto a plate.
