Bistro Creme Caramel, also known as Flan, is a classic dessert that originated in France and is now beloved all over the world. This creamy, sweet dessert is made with a custard base that is flavored with vanilla, and then baked with a rich caramel sauce on top. The dessert is typically served cold, after being chilled in the refrigerator for several hours. Bistro Creme Caramel is the perfect ending to any meal, and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser with its creamy texture and indulgent, sweet flavor.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	In a small saucepan, heat the sugar and water over medium heat until melted and amber in color.
3.	Pour the caramel into a 9-inch round cake pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
4.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
5.	Pour the mixture over the caramel in the cake pan.
6.	Place the cake pan in a larger baking dish, and fill the larger dish halfway up with hot water.
7.	Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
8.	Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
9.	Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
