Two colors vegetable flan

Two colors vegetable flan

Dear friends, yesterday I prepared something that my husband Massimo and my two little boys like very much… It’s very hard to have children appreciate vegetables  ..  but with this simple recipe they really enjoy hearty and healthy food!!! You should also steam the flan instead of cooking it  into the oven…  It’s up to you the cooking way!!!

Ingredients for 8 persons

white sauce
60 gr flour (30 gr flour - 30 gr maizena)
60 gr butter
500 gr milk
parmesan
salt

and
4 boiled carrots
500 gr boiled spinaches
6 eggs
fresh marjoram
