Blend the ricotta with a sachet of saffron, the cream, two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt.

Grease 4/5 molds with a little oil and divide the mixture.

Bake at 160°C for approximately 13-14 minutes, until the flans are firm.

Then gently unmold them.

Meanwhile, prepare a fondue by dissolving 50 g of grated pecorino and 30 g of grated parmesan in 60 ml of fresh cream.

Wash the chicory, cut it into strips, arrange it on plates together with a few pomegranate seeds, place the flans on top, garnish with a few saffron pistils and serve.

In front of your guests, pour the fondue over each flan and enjoy.
