Flan

This is my favorite flan recipe. So easy to make and always a hit.

1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 12 ounce can evaporated milk
4 ounces cream cheese (optional)
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup sugar

In a blender, combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, cream cheese (if desired), eggs, and vanilla and blend until well mixed. Sprinkle sugar over the bottom of a heavy frying pan. Place over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and starts to turn golden brown. (Watch carefully! Sugar burns easily at this point.) Pour caramelized sugar into an 8-inch round cake pan, tilting to coat bottom completely. Carefully pour the mixture from the blender over the sugar. Place the pan in a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with water to a depth of 1 inch. Bake at 300 degrees for 35-50 minutes or until the sides are firm and top is lightly browned. Let cool and flip pan upside down on a plate to serve.
