🥮 How To Make Julia Child Cinnamon Toast Flan

- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Whisk the eggs in a small pot with an electric beater or by hand to make crème anglaise. Pour in the sugar slowly and beat until the eggs are pale and thicker, about 3 minutes. Whisk in 1/4 cup of scalded milk while carefully adding it all. Keep stirring with a wooden spoon over medium-low heat until the pot thickens. To avoid curdling, do not overheat the custard since it changes quickly. When the custard coats your wooden spoon, strain crème anglaise into a bowl. Mix in vanilla.
