This flan was a disappointment. It was too eggy and not very flavorful.

I had a bit of trouble getting the flan to set properly. I think I might have overcooked it.

This flan is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for people who like their desserts on the sweeter side.

The caramel sauce is the perfect finishing touch to this flan. It's rich and decadent, and it complements the light flavor of the flan perfectly.
