Creme Brulee is part of this "Entremet" which today ranks at the top of our favorite desserts, in France and elsewhere. Now, like many things in the kitchen, Creme Brulee depends essentially on the quality of the ingredients. Extra fresh eggs, superior cream and real vanilla. Careful cooking is also essential.
Place in the refrigerator, loosely covered, and chill for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days before topping.
Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar and caramelize the sugar with a kitchen torch to caramelize. Enjoy without waiting.
