French Fridays with Dorie: Pumpkin-Gorgonzola Flans

This week for French Fridays with Dorie we made Pumpkin-Gorgonzola Flans. I was excited for this savory and festive take on a custard, er, flan. The deciding factor to make it for me was that the recipe included Gorgonzola cheese. I knew it would be a winner.

Well I was right. I enjoyed the custard but I don't think it would have been as good without the Gorgonzola. It really was the star and brought more flavor and balance to the dish. I made it for family and I got good feedback. It didn't blow anyone, including myself away, but we did like it. I think I would make it if I needed a different type of side dish and I had all the ingredients on hand. For some of my bites, I drizzled Vermont Maple syrup and it was quite nice.
