    Hello folks!
    Today I made an old school classic! Cheese flan. I don’t actually remember this from my school dinner days, but plenty of folk I’ve spoken to do :) I’m assured this was a thing! Really easy to make and very tasty too. Four basic ingredients are all that’s required, so why not give it a go.
    I found this recipe on UA-cam on the Mr Pauls Pantry channel, tweaked it a little and thought it looked amazing. I like to give credit where credit is due :)
    Everything I used will also be listed below,
    -Cheryl x
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________
    What I used - Serves 4
    375g (13 oz) Shortcrust pastry
    3 Large Eggs - very well beaten/whisked
    200g (7 oz) Grated cheese - I used extra mature Cheddar, but use what you prefer
    150ml (5.2 oz) Cream - I used single cream

    You truly are a legend for helping out on low in come family's meals i work 8 hours five days a week and I am a shame to say I have to go to food bank's in the uk I always wach your video's to get brilliant idea's bless you and all your family keep up the amazing work you do thank you so much

      Never feel any regret about using a food bank. If you weren't using the food it might go to waste. And Cheryl has often said that she donates frequently to her local food bank. Best wishes to you and your family Mark!

      There is no shame to go to a food bank. Thank God they are there for people who are struggling. Maybe someday you can donate food to help someone else.

      Please feel no shame in having to use a food bank. The shame is the government of one of the richest countries in the world being so focused on giving millionaires tax breaks and subsidies that any of its citizens should need a food bank - let alone those working 40+ hours a week. Take care and be proud that you are providing for your family.

      We all do the best we can don’t we? And we all need help at some point in our lives. There is no shame in needing some help. Be well and take care.

    Yes we had cheese flan for school dinners but we had a slice of tomato on top sometimes which I picked off and hid in a tissue then binned. The teachers would force you to clearer your plate.

    Can you make this into a series? Doing old school dinner recipes? Cheese and potatoe pie was one of my favourites with baked beans! And all the yummy school dinner puddings omg... treacle tarts, fruit crumbles, chocolate cake or chocolate concrete with pink custard!

    Nice to see a recipe rather than a shopping haul. Not to say don't do shopping haul vids, I just prefer these personally. Keep doing exactly what you do 👍🏻 Shopping haul or recipe, keep making them and I'll watch them. Cheers from Kent 😊

    Occasionally we would also have the odd bit of onion in it. I loved the cheese flan .

    I remember at school my favourite dinner was sausage and baked bean pie. Pastry on the bottom. Square sausage then a layer of baked beans then another layer of pastry. Used to wait all week for that on a Friday. School dinners were great in the 80s. I'm sure I would love this too. 😀 thanks Cheryl.❤️

    Reminds me of a really easy quiche. Again, another recipe I will add to my "must-try" list! I did the mince and tatties for my family and was a success, so I know this will also be since we all love quiche! I will try to make a small crustless version of this for my diabetic daughter. Thank you for sharing!

    Hi Cheryl! I sent you my recipe for flan the desert custard a while back when you were looking at cooking things from other countries. This is so funny, because I have never heard of this! Someone at work wanted the flan recipe but was diabetic. I didn't know how to tell her to make the golden syrup without sugar. But this might be something closer to what she was looking for!

    I remember flan at school, pretty sure we either got cheese & onion, or cheese & ham though. That was in the 60's & 70's. Also don't remember the edges being so high, if my memory is right the filling went up to just below the top of the pasty at the edges... that said the schools cooks used massive catering trays and fish slices to serve it straight from the tray so you rarely got a slice with any edge at all.
