Anyone have a good Creme Brulee recipe?
I would prefer something with Vanilla Bean (not sure if this is for all creme brulees or not - but I know I like the Vanilla Bean taste!)
And do you have to have a mini torch to get the top caramelized just right?
Re: Anyone have a good Creme Brulee recipe?
saw your post and searched for the one i've made before opening it. its not vanilla bean, but thought i'd share anyway.
chocolate creme brulee by cat cora (sorry, i can't make it clicky on my mac) and yes, you do need the torch for this one. totally worth it though.

I, too, am a creme brulle purist and it is rrr's favorite dessert. Any creme brulee I make will unfortunately only be ranked second best on his list because of a favorite he had in New Orleans that is no longer available.
I have made the emeril one on foodtv.com, and I have made this one:

(sorry it's not clicky)
both are good, the second one is just easier.
I have made Alton Brown's a few times

I do mine under the broiler since I don't own a torch. It's not quite as pretty (i'll call it "rustic", lol) but it still tastes great. I found the trick to doing it under the broiler is to put your creme dishes into a cold oven, then turn the broiler on.
