Creamy Asparagus Flan

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2.Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and cut into 1-inch pieces.

3.In a blender, combine asparagus pieces, eggs, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, parsley, nutmeg, black pepper, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

4.Grease ramekins with butter and pour the asparagus mixture into them.

5.Place the ramekins in a baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins to create a water bath.

6.Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the flan is set and lightly golden on top.

7.Remove from the oven and let the flans cool slightly before serving.

8.To serve, run a knife around the edge of each flan and invert onto a plate. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
