  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating the eggs can make the flan tough. Beat them just until they are combined.
  • Use a water bath. Baking the flan in a water bath helps to prevent it from curdling. Place the flan dish in a larger baking dish filled with hot water.
  • Bake the flan until it is set. The flan is done when it is firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Chill the flan before serving. Allow the flan to cool completely before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
