Directions
- 1
In a large microwave-safe mug, combine the sugar and water. Microwave at 80% power for 30 seconds. If the caramel hasn't formed yet, continue in 30-second intervals until a golden amber color is achieved.
- 2
In a separate heat-resistant mug or cup, beat the egg thoroughly. Add the milk and condensed milk, then whisk together until smooth and fully combined.
- 3
Gently pour the egg and milk mixture over the caramel in the first mug without stirring.
- 4
Microwave at 80% power for 1 minute. If the center is still very wobbly, cook in 15-second intervals until the edges are set and the center has just a slight jiggle.
- 5
Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edge and unmold onto a small plate to serve.
💡 Chef's Tip
Watch the caramel closely — it can go from golden to burnt in seconds in the microwave. Let the egg and milk mixture rest for 1 minute before pouring to allow air bubbles to settle, ensuring a smoother flan.
