Servings: persons

grated parmesan cheese, to coat the molds
4 -6 cups water
5 large garlic cloves, cut into halves
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 lbs carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups half-and-half
4 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 -3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh savory
1/3 cup coarse fresh breadcrumb

1
For the flan, sprinkle six buttered 1/2-cup molds lightly with cheese. Combine the water, garlic, sugar, and carrots in a saucepan and bring a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutesor until the carrots are tender; drain. Process the carrot mixture in a food processor until smooth. Add the half-and-half and process to blend well. Add the eggs, 2 tablespoons cheese, the salt and pepper and mix well.
2
Spoon the mixture into the prepared molds and place in a shallow roasting pan. Add enough hot water to reach 1 inch up the sides of the molds. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until set.
3
For the topping, melt the butter in a saute pan. Add the thyme and mix well. Add the bread crumbs and toss to coat. Toast over medium heat, stirring often, until crisp.
4
Let the flane cool for 5 minutes and sprinkle with crumbs. (Or unmold onto a serving platter, if you have that sort of pan.)
5
TO MAKE AHEAD AND REHEAT: refrigerate, then reheat at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. (But I microwaved it and it was fine.).
