Bacon flan

This was the flan we made for the Bowes Agricultural Show and was one of our prize winners. It was also lunch for me recently. The recipe helped us to use up lots of our ricotta cheese and eggs. The bacon alas was not produced by us. We bought it from a friend when she had a stall at the recent farmers' market at Sunniside Club. The pickle was made from cucumbers we got in a swap with another friend. We still have 2 flans still to eat but they are in the freezer and can stay there for a few weeks yet.
