How it's done

Flans

Bring the cream, lemon juice and honey to the boil in a pan. Using the whisk on a mixer, beat the eggs, sugar and lemon zest for approx. 2 mins. until light and fluffy. Slowly pour in the cream through a sieve while whisking, pour carefully into the ramekins. Place the ramekins on a cloth in a larger ovenproof dish, cover with foil. Pour enough boiling water into the larger dish to come two-thirds of the way up the side of the ramekins.

To cook in the oven

Approx. 30 mins. in the lower half of an oven preheated to 170°C. Remove the dish, leave the flans to cool, cover and chill for at least 3 hrs.

Almond brittle

Toast the almonds in a pan over a medium heat. Add the icing sugar and lemon juice, mix until the icing sugar has dissolved and the lemon juice has evaporated, leave to cool. Mix the thyme leaves with the almonds.

To serve

Drizzle the oil over the flans, scatter the almond brittle and thyme on top.
