Créme Brûlè

We finally found an excuse to use my kitchen torch and thus are serving Créme Brûlè at tonight's Bookgroup meeting at the house. Last night I made the custard based on the recipe that came with my torch. The recipe was supposedly for four portions, I tripled it only to discover that their "portion" is big enough to feed an army. So after filling 12 ramekins I still had about a third of the goo in my bowl. I scrambled for more dishes but ended up with two cookie sheets in the oven instead of one. And I forgot to cover the dishes with aluminum foil. So the custards now look all bubbly on top and some of them might not be completely gelled.

I'm sure it's going to taste just fine (heavy cream + egg yolks + vanilla + sugar = yummy) - I just hope that no one's going to get sick. Well if anyone is, it's going to be us, since we'll be living on créme brûlè for the foreseeable future.
