Bake the Flan
Pour the mixture over the caramel in the mold. Place the mold in a larger baking dish and fill it with hot water halfway up the sides of the flan mold. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes or until set.

Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a serving plate.
