Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Make flan: Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. Butter an 8- by 2-inch round cake pan and line bottom with a round of wax paper, then butter paper.
  3. 3Steam asparagus in a steamer set over boiling water, covered, until very tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Purée asparagus in a food processor until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. (You will have about 2 cups purée.) Whisk together eggs, milk, cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl, then whisk in asparagus purée.
  6. Pour asparagus mixture into pan and bake in a hot water bath until flan is set and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  7. Transfer pan to a rack to cool slightly, 10 to 15 minutes.
  8. Make sauce while flan cools: Put all sauce ingredients in a metal bowl, then set bowl over a pan of barely simmering water.
  9. Heat sauce, whisking until cheese and butter are melted, and then stirring with a wooden spoon, until sauce is slightly thickened and registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, 5 to 8 minutes.
  10. Remove bowl from pan.
  11. Run a thin knife around edge of flan to loosen, then invert a serving plate over pan and invert flan onto plate.
  12. Remove pan and discard paper.
  13. Cut flan into wedges and serve immediately with sauce.
