Flan is probably the most famous and widely adapted custard in the world.
Flan is the Spanish name for a vanilla egg custard, topped with caramel sauce.
Both the flan and Creme Brulee are baked in a water bath.
Unlike the flan, Creme Brulee is not inverted, but instead granulated sugar is sprinkled on top of the custard once removed from the oven and then either placed back in the oven to broil for a minute or so or cooked using a blowtorch.

Flan can refer to two different things: either a baked custard dessert topped with caramel similar to the French crème caramel, or a tart-like sweet pastry with a filling called a fruit flan. A dessert flan is made of eggs; sweetened condensed milk, cream or whole milk; and flavorings such as vanilla, orange, coconut, or coffee. Flan is a popular dessert in Spain and Latin America, and its name and not so much its preparation varies from country to country. Flan napolitano is another name for Mexican flan with a caramel layer on the bottom that is inverted onto a serving plate so the caramel is on top. In Mexico and Central America, flan can be made with fresh milk or with condensed milk. Cuban flan uses only evaporated and condensed milk from cans because fresh milk is not readily available there. Leche flan is the Filipino version of flan similar to Mexican flan. Flan de queso is a Latin American flan variation made with cream cheese that can also be flavored with coconut.
