This vegetable flan is extremely versatile: it can be served hot as a main course for a light lunch or a quick dinner, but it is also ideal if prepared in advance and enjoyed cold during a picnic or as part of a summer buffet, pleasing both guests and family.

Preparation

How to prepare Vegetable Flan in the Microwave

To prepare the vegetable flan in the microwave, first cut the eggplants lengthwise into slices 3/4 inch thick 1. Also slice the bell pepper, removing the seeds and internal filaments, and the potatoes into rounds about 3/8 inch thick 2. Cut the provolone into regular slices as well 3.

Butter a 10.5x4 inch mold 4 and sprinkle with breadcrumbs 5. Place the eggplants at the bottom, add a drizzle of oil, and season with salt and pepper 6.

Neatly arrange the provolone slices on the eggplants, sprinkle with breadcrumbs 7, and add the grated Parmesan cheese 8. Arrange the zucchini as well 9.

Drizzle with oil 10, season with salt and pepper. Add the provolone, breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese 11. Also place the bell pepper slices 12, drizzle again with oil, season with salt and pepper again, then arrange the provolone slices. Sprinkle again with breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Cover with the potatoes 13, then season with oil, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese 14. Cook in the microwave at 650 W for 20 minutes. Then continue cooking on grill mode for another 3 minutes. Your microwave vegetable flan is ready to be enjoyed 15.

Storage

The microwave vegetable flan can be stored in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, for 2-3 days. If you want to extend the preservation, you can also freeze it. Cut it into portions and wrap them individually in plastic wrap or use freezer-safe containers. When you decide to enjoy it, just thaw the portions in the refrigerator for a few hours and then heat them in the microwave.

Tip

To achieve a perfect flan, the secret is to slice the vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking. You can customize the flan using seasonal vegetables. Instead of provolone, you can use smoked scamorza, mozzarella, or even gorgonzola, to give the flan a more intense and creamy note.
