Ingredients (serves 6):
- 1 cup ricotta cheese

- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.

4. Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the smaller dish.
5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the flan is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
7. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
8. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan and invert onto a serving plate.
