In a dry pan, cook the bacon bits over medium heat for 4-5 min until golden. Drain thoroughly on paper towels.
- 2
Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan). In a bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Incorporate the cream while whisking.
- 3
Add the flour or cornstarch, a pinch of nutmeg, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.

Fold in the drained bacon and grated Comté. Mix gently with a spatula. Do not add salt.

Generously butter 8 to 10 cavities of a muffin tin. Fill them 3/4 full with the mixture.
- 6
Optional: place a cherry tomato half on each flan, cut side up.

Bake in the middle of the oven for 20-25 min. The flans are ready when golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let cool for 5 min, then run a thin knife around each flan before unmolding onto a rack. Serve warm or cold.
- Drain the bacon well to avoid greasy and heavy flans.
- Cornstarch gives a silkier texture than flour.
- Do not fill the molds to the brim to prevent overflow during baking.
- A 5-minute rest in the mold makes unmolding easier.
- For a vegetarian version, replace bacon with grilled pepper cubes and double the Comté.
