Avocado, Tomato and Ham Flan

An economical, tasty, easy and versatile dish. I have made without avocado, and subbing bacon for ham, and it was delicious. From Family Circle's Delicious Quiches & Flans. To make it lower in saturated fats I use light cheese, light sour cream (or yoghurt/cornflour) and low fat milk. But here it is the way they wrote it.
