Hi,
If I remember right, someone requested a recipe for flan.  Got this one
from a Spanish teacher way back when.  I've never made it, I hope it's
good:

Yucatan Flan

1/2 cup caramel topping
1 pkg. 8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
6 eggs
2 cups milk scalded

Pour caramel topping into well-greased round or square 9 inch pan.
Combine softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla, mixing at medium on
mixer until well blended.  Add eggs one at a time, mixing at low speed
on mixer until just blended.  Stir in milk; slowly pour egg mixture
over topping.  Set in larger baking pan on oven rack.  Pour boiling
water to 1/2 inch depth in outer pan.  Bake in moderate oven (350
degrees) 50 minutes.  Loosen custard from edge of pan -- invert on
plate.
