Oatmeal Crème Brûlée With Almond and Orange image

At Primehouse in Chicago, David Burke ropes in orange and oatmeal for a crème brûlée: orange zest, stirred into cooked oatmeal with brown sugar, sits at the bottom, contrasting with a creamy custard and a caramelized sugar top. He serves it in eggshells after brunch, with its salt bombs like sausages, eggs Benedict and smoked fish. "Putting salt and sweet together is always going to be successful," Mr. Burke said. "That's the classic candy bar trick."

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Butter for pans
1 cup cooked oatmeal
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar, more for topping
1 cup blanched almonds, toasted and chopped
6 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly butter six small ramekins or brûlée dishes. Mix oatmeal, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon zest together. Divide among ramekins; smooth surface of mixture.
  • In medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cream, granulated sugar, almonds and remaining orange zest. Heat, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes or until mixture is hot and sugar has dissolved (do not boil). Turn off heat and let infuse 10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks. Strain cream mixture into egg yolks, whisking constantly; discard solids. Ladle cream and egg mixture into ramekins atop oatmeal. Transfer to a baking dish and pour in enough warm water to come halfway up sides of ramekins.
  • Bake 40 to 50 minutes, until custards jiggle slightly when dish is moved and center is slightly runny; be careful not to overcook. Remove from water bath and cool. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • When ready to serve, evenly sprinkle each ramekin with about 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Using a kitchen torch or under very hot broiler, carefully caramelize sugar until amber brown. Serve immediately or chill again, uncovered, up to 4 hours.

This dish is a great make-ahead option. You can prepare it the day before and then just pop it in the oven when you're ready to serve.

The presentation of this dish was stunning. I served it in individual ramekins and it looked like something you would find in a high-end restaurant.

I substituted almond milk for regular milk and it turned out just as creamy and delicious. This recipe is a great option for those with dietary restrictions.

I found that the recipe took a bit longer to cook than stated. I had to keep it in the oven for an extra 10 minutes to get the desired consistency.

The almond and orange flavors were a bit too subtle for my taste. Next time, I'll try adding a bit more extract or zest to see if that makes a difference.
