1 cup heavy cream 2 large egg yolks 1 large egg 4 small roasted garlic cloves, mashed 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper Directions: Roasted Garlic: Preheat oven to 375°F. If the garlic has several layers of skin remove all but a couple (don't peel it down to the cloves). Place the garlic on a baking sheet (or in a fancy garlic roaster if you have one) and bake for about 45 minutes or until cloves are soft. Flans: Reduce the oven to 300°F. Butter eight 2 ounce ramekins. In a bowl, whisk the cream with the egg yolks, whole egg, garlic, salt and pepper until smooth. Pour the mixture into the ramekins and set them in a small roasting pan. Carefully pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake the flans for about 30 minutes, or until set. Transfer the ramekins to a rack and let stand for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, invert the flans onto plates and serve. Serves 8.
