Step 1
Heat 0.75 cup sugar in a small saucepan over medium, shaking occasionally, until golden amber, ~4 minutes. Pour into a round dish, tilting to coat the base evenly.
Step 2
Blend condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla, and remaining 0.25 cup sugar until smooth, ~1 minute. Pour over the caramel.
Step 3
Set the dish in a larger pan filled with hot water halfway up the sides (water bath). Microwave on 50% power for 6 minutes, rotating halfway.
Step 4
Custard should jiggle slightly in the center when nudged. Chill at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Step 5
Run a thin knife around the edge and invert onto a serving plate so caramel pools on top. Scatter chopped nuts over the flan.
