- Similar: Both have a custard base and are baked in a buttery pâté brisée (also known as a short paste or shortcrust pastry), a proportion of five parts flour to four parts butter. Sweet flans are baked in a sweet pâté brisée, or pâté brisée sucrée.
- Different: Flans can be sweet as well as savory (berries in a custard base, for example), while quiche is always savory.

∙ 12y agoFlans may have no base (or a base but no sides), wheras tarts require a base (and may have sides). However the use of "flan" is more of an American habit; in the UK most flans/tarts would be referred to as a tart.

How do you know when flan is ready?
If you mean a flan (like a tart or quiche) it wil be done when the top is golden brown, the flan has risen, and the contents wobble only slightly when you gently shake the pie tin. If you mean 'flan' the Spanish custard dessert then it will be ready when you can pat the top gently and it appears to be set or when a clean knife blade inserted a little way into the top can part the flan without it flowing back together - insert a little pressure to open the crack a fraction and you will see that it has set. It will firm up further while cooling.
What is the opposite of pie?
If you are thinking of 'pie' in the sense of food cooked inside a pastry case, or cooked with a layer, or lid, of pastry on top, then the opposite might be considered to include terms such as tart, flan, quiche or pizza, all of which describe foods cooked on a pastry base, but without a pastry lid or top layer.
What does tart mean?
According to another answer on this site, 'tart' is the name for a 'small-pie'. I'm not sure I agree with this, as one of the key facets of a pie is that it has a pastry top or lid of some description. One of the distinguishing features of a 'tart' is that it has no lid, making it more like a flan. A pie can be a dish of food with a pastry lid, or food entirely enclosed in pastry. The point of a flan or tart is that it is open on top, with pastry at the bottom and sides!
What is a savory pie with a bottom crust and an eggcustard filling?
