| 1. In a large bowl, whisk together egg and egg yolks. | 2. While whisking add the sugar slowly until fully dissolved. | 3. Add vanilla, heavy cream, milk, and salt and continue to whisk. | 4. In order to get rid of air bubbles in mixture, transfer to large bowl through a fine strainer. | 5. In the bottom of 6 (1/2 cup) ramekins (small ceramic custard cups), place about 1 1/2 teaspoons of caramel. | 6. When all 6 ramekins have caramel at the bottom, brush each bottom and side with melted butter to secure flan and yet allow it to be removed easily. | 7. Fill each ramekin with the flan mixture, SLOWLY to avoid air bubbles, until about 2/3 full. | 8. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. | 9. Place almost full ramekins in shallow baking pan and then fill the pan with boiling water. | 10. The hot water bath will allow the flan cups to cook evenly in the oven. | 11. Right before placing pan in oven, top each ramekin with a tablespoon of hot espresso. | 12. Bake for 40 minutes. | 13. When removing pan from oven, allow the ramekins to remain cooling in their original water bath. | 14. Ramekins can be covered and refrigerated overnight if necessary. | 15. Before serving, place ramekins in another shallow pan of warm water to loosen the custard. | 16. Run a thin knife around the inside edge of cup to further loosen, place a plate on top of ramekin and flip onto plate to serve. | 17. For the Caramel: In preheated saucepan over medium heat, pour in water and bring to boil. | 18. Add sugar and stir until caramel brown (about 4 minutes). | 19. Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 2 to 3 minutes. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
