- This retro Cheese Flan was requested by many people almost all telling me it was a memory from their School Dinners in the 1950's & 60's.
As I never experienced school dinners I had to do some serious research into this recipe.
RECIPE
Short crust pastry (Either make your own or use shop bought) Below is a link to my pastry recipes.
4 large Eggs
200g Grated cheese (I used a mature cheddar)
150mls Single cream
Salt & Pepper to taste

SAME!
Same but I'm 13

I’d love to see more uk old school dinners, thank you for the flashbacks ✌🏻
Hi, not sure if you know but at present I'm recovering from a broken neck caused by a fall in my kitchen over the Christmas holiday, I will put you request on my list for my return ASAP. Thanks for watching.
Oh wow- as an Asian kid in school, this was one of my first intros into English food and it became my favourite! Will definitely be trying this this weekend!
Thanks for watching Jalaybi and also for taking the time to comment, I really do appreciate it.
R.I.P Mr Paul and thanks for this from a Sth London 70's council estate lad now 60 & living in Edmonton Canada
This was my favourite school dinner in the 80s but there were sliced tomatoes on top loved it 😋
Mine too( with the tomatoes)god I loved this..I've got the ingredients and making this later 😋
just cooked this, absolutely bang on with the flavour, back to 79
Thanks for watching and taking the time out to comment Daren. I'm pleased you enjoyed both Flan and the memories.
What size dish pls?
I made this for tea earlier today Mr Paul. Took my wife and I back to our schooldays in the late 60'S early 70's. Simply stunning!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it and I'm pleased I was able to bring back some happy memories for you and your dear wife. Thanks for watching.
Thank you, Mr. Paul! I never had school dinners so this is very interesting to me. I appreciate all the work you did to research and test this one. You look well and I hope you are feeling well and that your arthritis isn’t acting up. Bless you Mr. Paul.
Hi Kirsten, me neither but it was quite tasty I have to say. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I'm not to bad at present Thanks.
Tried this recipe last night for tea. It was a great success and so tasty!! 😊
Hello HolyDolly, thank you for subscribing. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/
We had it wth the onion with the cheese. I went to Cadbury School in Birmingham. Loved school dinners xx
I do wish you would tell us the story why you didn't have school lunch plus other life stories. I think you are a very interesting person I'm sure I'm not the only one. God Bless You Sir.
Hi, I have mentioned this in a very early video of mine I think. I was born into a travelling family (Romany Gypsies) and was brought up on the road, so never went to school. Didn't learn to read & write until I was 17 years old and YES I've had a very interesting life spending the first 18 years of married life travelling the world with my late wife as Circus Artistes. I hope this answers some of your questions.
@@MrPaulsPantry Hi back to you. Wow even more interesting than I suspected. In my wildest imagination can't conceive that life. You should certainly work on an autobiography or at least a spoken record it would be a hit as are your baking skills ❤
Hi, when the government here in Spain brings in the 36 hour Day I'll try and fit it in!!!
This was my favourite school dinner! I make it regularly. It's fantastic with slowly cooked leeks beneath the cheese with nutmeg in the beaten egg.
Sounds great! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/
Thank you so much for this recipe , Mr Paul. I'll try it. Happy Sunday 🌅
As someone who was in primary school during the late 2000s/early 2010s, this definitely takes me back! It’s great to see that some parts of our culture are shared by so many generations.
Thank you for making my day with this nostalgia trip.
Although you are still recuperating Mr. Paul, I do hope you are able to read your fans comments, we don't want you to do anything strenuous, just get well again first. I have been re-watching your videos and today it's school cheese flan I am making. Yes, I have made this twice before and it was delicious. Anyway, to cut a long story short, being a bit of an old bird, the same age as you, I do have to look recipes up countless times, so thank goodness for you. My eldest daughter is 62 today and this flan is for her, yes, she'd rather have this than Birthday Cake, and her elder brother, younger brother and younger sister are all looking forward to it. I'm going to put birthday candles on it. Thanks for your recipes, Mr. Paul, you are such a treasure. We hope you keep getting better and better from Di and family in the UK xx
omg I always wanted the original 80's recipe thanks so much Paul I am going to make this Tomorrow as I had no Cream in. I was going so wrong trying to recreate this in the past using milk and combining the egg and cheese like a quiche. Real Dinner Lady recipe this is a treat. 😃😋❤❤❤
That takes me back to the mid 60,s.....great straightforward video... Look forward to seeing more...
Glad you enjoyed it Mark. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/
At my school in Yorkshire it was Cheese Pie (no onion!) we had it served with small new potatoes and baked beans. I loved cheese pie, but even when I was in charge of a table at school everyone got a fair share, I found out many years later the little ones all wanted to be on my table because I was fair, I had no idea.
Bless
It was also cheese pie (no onions) at my school, in north Derbyshire in the 1960s. The pie was baked in a large rectangular tin with a sheet of shortcrust pastry on the bottom, then the cheese filling, and another sheet of shortcrust pastry on the top, and it was served cut into 4" squares. We invariably had ours served with mashed spuds and baked beans. I sometimes still make this dish for myself but I make the pie on an old-fashioned circular enamel pie plate.
Now that's a blast from the past 😀 I remember this from junior school 1970s) complete with onion and with chips and beans
Think I'll be giving this a go but with my own pastry 👍
Sounds good Graham, I did try it with the onions and I prefered it, but as many seem to dislike them I left it out of the video in case it prevent those folk from watching. Good Luck and do let me know the outcome please.
@@MrPaulsPantry - I'll definitely let you know how this turns out. I didn't like onions when I was a kid and this was one of the few ways I'd eat them.
Omg this was my fav in the juniors …. That was 38 years ago … I’m def doing this
Always nice to see you Mr. Paul.
Thank you and always nice to hear from you too. Thanks for watching.
In the 50s we had this dish in school dinners every second Friday alternating with awful boiled fish. I loved the cheese flan chips and beans in fact I am going to have it for tea!
Sounds great Bill, hope you enjoy it. Give my regards to Lorraine xx
😆we had this at school in 80s too, what a flashback! Ty!
They still serve this on Fridays at school,instead of boiled fish its fried or over baked
I had School Dinners in the late 50s early 60s and seeing what passes as a Schoold Dinner now I feel sorry for the kids of today. The two Schools which I had the dinners at had the Kitchens on site which may have been an advantage I suppose and they were good wholesome grub. I cannot remembr having this or Chips during my time but apart from what looked like Frog Spawn pudding (may have been Tapioca) it was excellant.
I think you're right James, on site kitchens had the advantage, the other thing is, the Ladies doing the cooking were first class home cooks with families, so they really knew what they were about.
Frog Spawn Pudding LOL that is hilarious.
that would be Sago or Sago + Tapioka.
Don’t remember having this at school in the 70s. Our school cooks were brilliant. The food was really good overall. Feel sorry for children today with their packed lunches.
I started school in 1968, and had school dinners from the start. Cheese flan was a favourite of mine. The only school meal component I did not enjoy, was beetroot, which appeared in salads. I still detest it to this day, and the smell alone is enough to turn my stomach. It's one of an exceedingly short list of foods I dislike.
Thanks for this video - it made me very hungry! 👍👍👍
Thanks Brian, always good to hear from you, hope you're keeping well. I give the Borsch recipes a miss then !! lol
@@MrPaulsPantry - I have no problem with anybody else enjoying Beetroot, as long as I'm not asked to join in! I love lots of things other people dislike: Black Pudding, Haggis, a lot of offal dishes, Whitebait, etc. So it balances out.
I hope you're keeping well, and your arthritis isn't too painful. So glad I found your channel. Thank you.
As my father had 5 pork butchers shops (where I started my working life) I'm on your side with all the Black Pudding and Offal. Still make my own sausages and black pudding.
Oh my, I loved this at school, can’t wait to try this
Cheese flan was my favourite in school! I had this in the 90s
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, what a fabulous midweek dinner or a Saturday lunch. I will certainly have to make be making this ......👌🤩👏🇿🇦
Hi Heather, thanks for commenting, I hope you enjoy it.
just found your channel. Excellent. I was in school from 1970 onwards. We used to have this with mash potato and a kind of runny tomato sauce/gravy. if you could ask the dinner ladies for the tomato recipe to go with it-if indeed they did that at their schools that would be terrific. I think you missed an opportunity at the end there to just cut into the flan and let us see how it layered. Great vid though , I'll give this a go 😀
Cheese flan! Love it 1980 style
Coming from Americas dairy land, I highly approve of this cheesy flan ❤ looks amazing!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment too.

Thank You for watching and also for subscribing too.
@@MrPaulsPantry your very welcome
Oh the flan was delicious by the way ,brought back fond memories, but I think I might have about one too many eggs in, (4) as it tasted quite omelette-y. And I can't remember 100% if that's how I remember it tasting 🤔
Oh happy memories of school dinners, I remember having that with chips and beans in the late 50's it was one of the better things dished up to us...thanks for the trip down memory lane Mr Paul...
You're very welcome Jane, I'm please you enjoyed it.
Gosh. This was around too in the 70's at school. Definitely going make it. Just got a batch of santa surprises cooking!
I have never had that , but I must try it, I may sprinkle breadcrumbs on it half way through the bake. tks Mr. Paul

Can milk be used instead of cream?
What an interesting recipe! Thank you for sharing with us, Mr. Paul.
Thanks for this recipe. My husband has been craving cheese flan. He wanted it school dinners style from the 80s. You have made him one happy scouser.
Hope your recovery is going ok Mr Paul. Just wanted to say I made this for the first time this evening and WOW! Brought back fond memories and my wife who had never had it was asking for seconds! Love your channel and hope you’re doing well
Hi, I'm recovering but still not 100%, should know more after my next scan in February, Thanks for enquiring. Also a big thank you for the very positive feedback too with thanks to your dear wife for endorsing it.
Mr Paul hope you're getting well and thank you very much for this recipe I'm going to try this with my kids watching your video brought back a lot of school memories lm one of those who had this at school dinner's. I'd also like to thank the school dinner ladies that share this recipe with you. All the best from England
Our's were cooked in the school kitchen, a small roll of streaky bacon was placed on top, one for each portion and baked on the flan, resulting in a lovely flavour throughout the cheese. We had mashed potato and a jug of reddish sauce to pour over both. I recently worked out that the sauce was the liquid from the previous days hotpot which was really huge tins of vegetable soup. That was the 1950's and a personal favourite. Other fav's were corned beef pie and spam fritters. We never had chips at any school I (sometimes) attended.
We never had chips either. I loved the school dinners in the late 50s and 60s. Real food not like what they get nowadays.
Thank You Mr Paul, Do You Have Anymore School Dinner Recipes I liked the coconut jam cake thing and Catherine Wheel, And Blancmange
Well Jason, as I said in my video I Never experienced school dinners so a little more info regarding these dished would help. Bit of a description as to baht they looked like, etc. and I'll do my very best.
Thanks for sharing 🤗🤗❤️❤️🙏🏼👍
You are so welcome, thanks for visiting again.
Good Morning Paul . Your recipes for Chocolate Shortbread, and English Crumpets were great, thanks 🥰 Can you show us how to make Cauliflower Cheese, and Cauliflower Pasta Bake.
Yes I can Anna, I'll put it on my to-do-list now. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
@@MrPaulsPantry Thanks Paul
Thank you! Loved my school dinners and cheese flan was a fav!
Hi Mr. Paul, my mama and i live in the USA, but we just love this flan we were wondering if we could bake one and freeze it? Thanks Jenna
Thank you Mr Paul for your amazing recipes, when I watch videos on cooking of baking I always wonder why the amount of eggs used are not weighted in grams. You may say 4 large eggs and what I consider to be large are possible only medium. 🤔
As usual the US have to be different, even with egg sizes, this makes it very difficult when developing recipes. In the bakery, because we were using a lot of eggs all the time we did whisk the eggs and actually weigh the quantity for a recipe, however, that's not very practical for home baking. so I use the European size system, A medium egg in shell weighs approx 50g - 62g a large egg in shell approx 62g - 72g
Hello Mr Paul, Your shortbread recipe caught. my attention tonight and I stayed on to watch a few other recipes and I jusst subscribed after You made Cheese Flan. I have never had that, I never went to school in England and being an American, I have only tasted “English” food in Victoria BC in
Canada..They say Victoria is more English than the English. I had a “mix grill”breakfast there in a restaurant and it was delicious. On my last visit I was very disappointed to find that everything I ordered had a very bitter taste, kind of a hot spice than burned. my tastebuds. I had a white creamy chicken soup and lthat i couldn”t eat and later for dinner I ordered what I thought was a safe choice: A BLT triple decker sandwich and curly french fires. . Ah there it was again, bitter and burning even the fried which had been deep firied with a batter-like crust.I learned later that they put horseradish in the mayo and put Indian hot curry spice in the fries and the soup.I Gathered that those flavors were greatly enjoyed by the local folks and part of the culture.I finally satisfied my hunger at high tea at the Empress Hotel. There was no horseradish or hot spices in the tea cakes ,scones, sandwiches and the other good things that were served I LOVE English food, or at at least the foods I have read about in novels set in England and Scotland. I am relieved to find recipes for the dishes ,mentioned in my novels. I will be fixing the cheese flan , it sounds and looks delicious. Thank you.

Wish we had chips for school dinners crikey ! - we got mash or boiled - with chops in gravy …uurrrgghhh🤢
We had this at school with mashed potato and salad lovely still make it to this day
That looks bloody delicious. I'm gonna make that sometime this week
Yes this is the cheese flan of my primay and scenodary school years...1989-2001
could u make cheese couchettes can’t buy them from
any were my favourite with cheese and beans from the mid eighties bought cheese couchettes from m&s not the same warm hearty food
Good morning to you IAM new to your site it is very good will be back thank you Alan
Schools where I come from never ever had chips wıth school dinners, it was always mashed potatoes.
Hello and thanks, I can confirm your recipe as my mother was the head cook at our local comprehensive in the 60's and 70's. No onions were used (too many kids didn't like onions). I suspect an alternative to cream was used, costings were king!
Hi Francis, thanks for commenting. Do you have any of your Mothers recipes from that time please, if so I would be most grateful. You can email me at Paul@Mr-Pauls-Pantry.com
@@MrPaulsPantry Eyup, It's Frank actually (Francis is like being called Sue). I have nothing written down unfortunately, sorry I could not be of more help, although I absorbed quite a lot of info over the years
Mr. Paul ...you have started something now! lol ..... I loved my school dinners and my favourite was the Sausage meat pie, which I make today. I have a book with school dinner recipes in, Thank you so much for sharing our childhood memories .x
OK Wendy, lets have the recipe so I can share it. You can email it to me.
Pls share☺
@@MrPaulsPantry I will send recipe to you as soon as i can :)
My Mum used to make an amazing sausage meat pie, sadly we lost Mum and her recipes 15 years ago.
@@MrPaulsPantry I have sent you the recipe via your facebook page messenger :)
Please do the school beef stew. Chocolate pudding spotted dick and cornflake pie too. 😛
You didn't blind bake the pastry, was the base crispy?
OH MY GOD, I FORGOT ABOUT THESE BUT NOW I REMEMBER THEM SO WELL
Is it 3 large eggs like we see in the video or 4 that we read in the instruction
Sorry, It's 4, If I remember correctly I had a problem with some of thre recording on that video, I was new to filming, normally just baking
@Mr. Paul's Pantry I used 4 in the end thanks lovely memory from school
I remember sliced tomatoes on top as well . I think I’ll put some bacon in the mix
Caramelised Onion in any pie elevates taste significantly
It looks great, but from what I remember in school the bottom of the flan is like a thick crumbly pastry, I don’t think this is the right pastry
Don't you blind bake the pastry first?
I noticed you didn't blind bake your pastry first!
Hi Linsey, I've had commercial bakeries for 60 years both in the UK and here in Spain and time was always our enemy, you only need to blind bake if the tart is deep and over 6 - 7 inches diameter. We never blind baked custard tarts, quiches, etc. Thanks for watching and don't forget yoiu can always reach out to be via Email if you have any question. PAUL@mr-pauls-pantry.com
Thanks for replying. I'm enjoying your channel very much.
Yum! I'll try this very soon! Thank you Mr Paul.
very interesting video, thank you! i love comparing school dinners/puddings to what i had during my school years in my country 🇵🇱 :) this one is almost TOO easy i have to try it out
I’m going to cook this for my polish boyfriend see what he says 😂
Whohoooo ive searched years for this 🎉🎉a cheese quiche just don't cut it lol
Oh my this takes me back to the 1970s, wonderful! Sometimes we would have little cubes of ham or possibly Spam on ours, but always with chips and beans! Thank you for sharing, I’m going to have to make this now.
Thank you so much for this video! It brought back such good memory’s from the 90’s when I used to love this flan in Primary School. Casomorphins in Cheese can cross the blood-brain barrier and attach to dopamine receptors in your brain. This causes your brain to release dopamine, a neurotransmitter related to feelings of pleasure and reward. I never knew this until I Googled it. Cheese does for me what Chocolate does for others. Both wonderful foods to treat yourselves to! ☺️🧀🍫
I have no cream. Would milk work?
I forgot about cheese flan at school loved it
Im from Gorton Manchester and my old school Spurley Hey used to have this flan and we had it with chips and beans and a lovely tomato sauce , always used to go back for seconds if there wasnany left this was in the 1970s.
I'm 45 school days were the last
I will be making this soon, as I always enjoyed cheese flans when tey made them at school..many eons ago.Do like the quiche but its not the same and can't stand the bits of ham that inside of the quiche.
Sounds great, do please let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching.
Easy short crust .put 8 Oz of SR flour .4 Oz of soft butter .chop butter into flour doesn't need much .if butter is soft mix together with a little water at a time till it comes to a soft dough .flour work surface put dough on form and roll to as thin or thick as you like put in container with filling and cook .makes a lovely short crust pastry .cook till golden brown .
Thanks for the tips!
@@MrPaulsPantry thank just what I do but enjoy watching your food vidios .take care .😊
@@MrPaulsPantry there was a recipe that I used before I stopped eating meat .it was called sausage pie one of only two meals we made in our school cookery class that I liked .the school meals though we're great.the pie wasent made with pastry it used potatoes.it was sausage meat rolled and cut into three pieces a large tomatoe an onion an egg and milk salt and pepper .you slice the tomato and onion put some one the bottom of a dish with some salt and pepper then one piece of the sausage meat ,repeat this three times .wisk egg and milk .pure over the top cook till sausage is cooked I think 20minuets or so mite be longer it's a long time since I last cooked it .boil some potatoes .and mash them and put them on top .and enjoy .☺️
Didn’t know he had passed away
🇬🇧🤤😋 One of my old favourites, once again Mr Paul, mouth watering 🤤😋, 😉
Was at Infant School school 1974, when I first tried it. Still remember the smells at school dinner. Wonderful memories Thankyou
Thank you I had this once a week at school. It was one of my favourites. I made it and was exactly as I remembered it in the mid 80s. X
Hi Mr Paul, love your channel! In this recipe the written recipe calls for 4 lg eggs, but in the video it shows only 3 eggs! So can you please tell us how many eggs ? Thank You!
I suggest you always follow the written recipe, because when filming and editing the video things can happen. In this case one of the eggs rolled off the bench as I was filming and I did not feel like re-setting everything up to start over.
@@MrPaulsPantry Yes Mr Paul, I’ll certainly remember that for the future episodes. Thanks so much!
Hello I used to have this at school our cook would make it but it would be like a 3 inch square blocks with pastry on the top and bottom does anybody know how to make this style with a top on please as it was one of my favourites at school every Friday cheese flan then pizza then fish the next Friday the best dinner days at school.....this is a great video still thanks
I remember it to be with no crust
My nan was a school cook so all leftovers came home. I loved cheese flan but haven't had it for 40yrs.
Thanks a lot.
Brought back memories.
So pleased you enjoy the trip down memory lane Sue. Thanks for watching.
Can you find out how toffee cream tart was made please ? This was in the 70s.
It was a lovely light creamy beige fudgy top with dessicated coconut sprinkled on top. Ive seen lots of people try but its not the same.
Cant wait to try this...still remember cheese flan
This is a recipe schools used in the 60's and 70's each school canteen had their onw twists, some had grated chocolate on top and some had desiccated coconut on top. I hope this helps:
flawlessfood.co.uk/old-school-butterscotch-tart/
@@MrPaulsPantry its kind of you to respond so promptly. I've seen similar ones to this often called gypsy tart but the one I recall the topping was much more pale? It's so frustrating as I can visualise it but not seen anything similar. It had a sort of soft buttery fudge like consistency. It was divine...really miss it. If you come across anything similar to what I describe please do post. You will be surprised how many forums there are with people looking for it !!
I don't remember the egg component. In my memory it was some kind of amalgam of cheese and potato. With chips, beans and salt and vinegar I could just about face double maths with 'Apeman'.
I can remember this
Is the white pepper finer? That sounds good for a change. I want to try it.
White pepper is much finer and has a completely different flavour to black pepper.
Can I ask why it is called a dinner ? I thought dinner is eaten in the evening and lunch is eaten on midday
Not in the UK Dinner time means lunch
Mr Paul you are an absolute god send my guy
You beautiful beautiful man

I can't see the ingredients under the video. How much cheese please
Click on 'SHOW MORE' under the video: This retro Cheese Flan was requested by many people almost all telling me it was a memory from their School Dinners in the 1950's & 60's.
As I never experienced school dinners I had to do some serious research into this recipe.
RECIPE
Short crust pastry (Either make your own or use shop bought) Below is a link to my pastry recipes.
4 large Eggs
200g Grated cheese (I used a mature cheddar)
150mls Single cream
Salt & Pepper to taste
