These elegant sweetcorn flans with tomato-corn relish are a sophisticated way to celebrate the natural sweetness of fresh corn. The flans have a silky, custard-like texture that contrast perfectly with the punchy, vibrant relish. By puréeing the corn and passing it through a sieve, you create a refined dish that feels incredibly light, while the addition of a little cayenne pepper provides a gentle warmth to balance the creamy milk and eggs.
This vegetarian starter is an excellent choice for a summer dinner party or a light weekend lunch. The relish, made with juicy cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fresh basil, adds a bright acidity that cuts through the richness of the flans. For the best flavour, ensure you use fresh corn on the cob rather than canned varieties, as the natural starches help the flans set beautifully.

3 ears fresh corn, shucked
160ml 1% milk

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.
