Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese instead of goat cheese?
Yes, you can substitute goat cheese with fresh cheese like queijo fresco, ricotta, or even cream cheese. Each cheese will slightly alter the flavor and texture, but they can all work well in this recipe.
How do I store leftover cheese flan?
Store any leftover cheese flan in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should last for up to 3-5 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage, but be aware that the texture may change slightly upon thawing.
What should I do if the flan is not setting properly in the oven?
If the flan is not setting properly, it may need additional baking time. Keep an eye on it, and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean. If it looks too liquidy, you can return it to the oven for a few more minutes.
