Clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly. In a hot pan with olive oil, sauté them over high heat for 5-6 min until the water evaporates. Add the chopped garlic at the end, season with salt and pepper. Reserve a few pieces for garnish.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs. Incorporate the cream and milk. Add the Parmesan, chives, a pinch of nutmeg (if using), salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the sautéed mushrooms (except the reserved ones).

For an ultra-smooth texture, briefly blend the mixture with an immersion blender (optional).

Preheat the oven to 160°C (convection). Butter 6 individual molds. Pour in the mixture, straining through a sieve if needed. Do not fill beyond 3/4.
- 5
Place the molds in a deep baking dish. Pour boiling water halfway up the molds. Bake for 25-30 min. The flan should be set around the edges and slightly wobbly in the center.
- 6
Remove the molds from the water bath and let cool on a rack for 10 min. Run a thin knife around the edge and carefully unmold onto a plate.
- 7
Top each flan with the reserved mushroom pieces. Sprinkle with fresh chives, a flake of sea salt, and cracked pepper.
- Complete evaporation: Fully evaporate the mushroom water to avoid a watery flan.
- Hot water bath: Use boiling water for even cooking from the start.
- Perfect baking: The center should still wobble slightly when taken out; it will set further while cooling.
- Easy unmolding: A 10-minute rest firms up the flan for easier unmolding.
- Serving: Serve with a light green salad and toasted bread. Perfect warm or cold.
- Variations: Add crispy bacon, spinach, or a mix of wild mushrooms for delightful variations.
