How to make Sweet Corn Flans with Tomato-Corn Relish

Preheat oven to 177°C.

Cook corn in a pot of boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool.

Cut off kernels with a sharp knife into a bowl, scraping ears. Reserve 180ml for relish and purée remainder in a blender with milk until smooth. Force corn purée through a fine sieve into a bowl, discarding skins.

Whisk together eggs, salt, and cayenne until blended and whisk in corn purée.

Pour flan mixture into lightly oiled ramekins and bake in a hot-water bath just until set, about 40 minutes.

Remove ramekins from water bath and cool on a rack. Chill until cold, about 2 hours.

Stir together corn, tomatoes, onion, and basil. Stir in oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper.

Run a thin knife around edge of each flan, then invert flans onto plates. Spoon relish over them.
