Flan

Flan is a creamy custard dessert popular in Spanish, Latin American and Filipino cuisines, traditionally made from milk, eggs and caramelized sugar. It provides about 5.23g of protein per 100g thanks to the milk and eggs used in the recipe. While indulgent and rich in flavor, Flan is typically high in added sugars and low in fiber, so enjoying it occasionally or choosing reduced-sugar versions can make it a lighter choice; it also contributes some fat-soluble vitamins from the dairy and eggs and supplies readily usable protein.
