Vanilla creme brulee

4 servings

In large bowl whisk together

  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 vanilla pod, split lengthwise, seeds extracted
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
Then whisk in

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 
  • vanilla pod (or 2+ tbs vanilla)
Put in sous vide machine for 1 hour at 181 F (83 C)

Put in ramekins by cutting corner off bag, put in refrigerator for at least three hours.  Before serving sprinkle with coarse sugar and melt with blowtorch.

Notes:
I added an extra yolk and it turned out looking like scrambled eggs though there was a small leak in the bag too so hard to say exactly what went wrong
