This French Roquefort Flan is a savory appetizer that combines the rich, creamy flavor of Roquefort cheese with a classic flan recipe. A traditional flan is typically sweet, but this version is deliciously salty and is perfect for those who prefer savory flavors. Roquefort cheese is a type of blue cheese that is made from sheep's milk and has a strong, pungent flavor that pairs well with the delicate texture of the flan. This flan is perfect for entertaining guests or for a special, indulgent treat.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.	In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt and pepper until light and frothy. Add in the flour and milk and whisk again until well combined.
3.	Crumble the Roquefort cheese and add to the mixture, stirring in gently.
4.	Pour the mixture into a greased flan dish and bake for around 45-50 minutes or until the flan is set. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
