Vermicelli Flan with Mushrooms and Creamy Sauce

Vermicelli Flan with Mushrooms and Creamy Sauce

Posted 2015-07-20 by finyfollow

This recipe is made using thin noodles, (vermicelli) or very thin spaghetti.

I made it into the "pastry" by pressing it down in the tin, and then putting the filling in the middle.

I then poured a creamy egg and milk mixture over the top and baked it, giving it a nest-like appearance.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 50 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
225g vermicelli or thin spaghetti
75g butter
1 onion, chopped
170g mushrooms
1 small green capsicum
135ml milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tbsp double cream
1 tsp oregano
Dash of nutmeg
2 tbsp Parmesan, grated

Method
  • Preheat the oven to 160° fan forced, and grease a 20 cm springform (or similar).
  • Put the vermicelli in lightly salted boiling water, with a dash of olive oil to stop it sticking together.
  • Cook for a minute or two till it is ALMOST done, but not quite. Drain.


  • Put back in the pot, add 25g of the butter and mix to coat the vermicelli.
  • Press this pasta onto the springform, making as deep a hole as possible in the middle. This will form the base of the dish.

  • Try to bring the pasta up the sides to make this indentation bigger

  • Melt the rest of the butter in a frypan. Add the onion and cook till it is translucent.
  • Add the mushrooms, finely sliced rings of green capsicum, and stir for about 3 minutes.


  • Add this mixture into the flan and press it evenly into this base.


  • Beat the milk, eggs and cream together. Stir in the dried oregano and nutmeg, and add some black pepper to taste.
  • Carefully pour this mixture over the vegetables and add the Parmesan.

  • My springform leaked so I sat it in a larger dish


  • Put this into the pre-heated oven as quickly as possible, and cook for about 40 minutes, or until the cream mixture has set.
  • Slide the flan out of the springform, cut and serve - I served it with sliced tomato.
