Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Coat insides of four 5 1/2-ounce ramekins with oil.
  2. 2 Melt 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar in a skillet over medium heat without stirring; swirl the skillet occasionally until sugar caramelizes to an amber color. Quickly pour caramel into each prepared ramekin to cover the bottoms. Place ramekins in a large baking dish.
  3. 3 Whisk cream cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl until smooth.
  4. 4 Heat milk in a small saucepan until almost simmering; stir in 1/2 cup sugar until dissolved. Stir into cream cheese mixture until custard combined.
  5. 5 Spoon custard mixture into the prepared ramekins. Carefully add enough hot water to the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until custard is just barely set, 45 to 60 minutes. Custard should jiggle as one mass, when shaken. Remove ramekins from the baking dish; cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  7. 7 Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl; sprinkle over each flan. Refrigerate until fully chilled, at least 2 hours.
  8. 8 Run a knife along edges of chilled flans; invert onto plates. Drizzle any remaining caramel on top.

  2. 2 Place a piece of foil on a clean work surface and position cream cheese on top of the foil. Sprinkle cream cheese with seafood seasoning. Using a knife, score the block of cream cheese so that the smoke can penetrate into the cheese.
