If you are looking for a new way to spice up your traditional flan recipe, just keep reading. In my opinion, there’s no tastier or easier dessert to make than flan. And what I love about it so much is that it’s very versatile. A few days ago I decided to try it with quinoa and the result was great. Most of the quinoa stayed at the top of the flan adding an irresistible texture. Try it!
