Flan comes from ancient Rome. The Romans had many eggs and used the Greek's cooking skills to develope a recipe. Together they developed a custardly concoction known as a Flan. Flan started out not very sweet, but sometimes with honey. In Spain in became a sweet custard made with caramelized sugar. It was mostly made with milk, eggs, and sugar. When Christopher Columbus found America flan was brought about. Almost all of central and south America fell in love with the flan and the different types of custard forms. In Mexico flan also became popular for dessert to poor and rich people alike.

The dessert we know today as flan was invented by the Romans, who were the first in recorded history to experiment cooking with eggs. We don't know when it was first made but there is a recipe for it in an ancient cookbook from the late 4th or early 5th century A.D.
