Just a short one this time – I liked this a lot but pretty much everyone else who ate it did not. 
I have never eaten a traditional Creme Brulee before (shocking, I know) so I didn’t really have anything to compare it to and maybe that was the issue. I would love to go back and make the traditional sweet Creme Brulee that the rest of the Doristas did quite awhile ago because I have always loved the part in Amelie where she talks about cracking the crust on a Creme Brulee:
In fact, I’m actually kind of horrified that I have never tried this dessert. I will have to remedy this shortly. Also, I want to watch Amelie again….
But back to the point, which is the Cheesy Creme Brulee. I made this with some open-faced steak sandwiches with reduced balsamic vinegar and bleu cheese and I think it was just a weird match. I was trying to knock it out and get it done on time and I think I just didn’t pair it right. Also since all the other people that ate it didn’t like it, I may have been barking up the wrong tree audience-wise. I’m glad I made it and got kind of back on track with my FFWD postings even though this one is late. I promise things will be back to my normal standards soon. Next up is Orange-Scented Lentil soup – another crowd pleaser around here (not). We’ll see how it goes…
I think yours looks delicious, you have a nice browning on top. We truly enjoyed this
recipe and I will be making it again. You must try to make the sweet version
of creme brulee, it is so good. Have a great week.
It looks good
“Normal” creme brulee has to to be one of my all-time favorite desserts. Totally worth a try.
We had a split decision on these – The Dude liked them; the girl wouldn’t touch them. When it came to the lentil soup, the girl liked it and The Dude wouldn’t touch it. I have one very messed up house…
Have a good week!
You can make this for Shaun anytime….it’s a combo of 2 of his all time faves; cheese and creme brulee!
I l.o.v.e. vanilla bean creme brulee! Please make this the next time I see you and we’ll indulge together!
I found it hard to figure out what to serve with this dish (my salad didn’t go so well, but I’m not convinced it was a good salad anyway!). It’s just so good on its own! Creme brulee is just awesome, whether it’s sweet or savory. You gotta try the dessert some time!
Looks good! I did not make it, but I sure did want to! Hmm, I don’t remember that part in Amelie. I guess I’ll need to watch that again, too.
I enjoyed this one…but once you have the classic Creme Brulee…there is really no contest!! You will have to make the traditional version now! Looks lovely…glad you enjoyed it!
Love, love, love creme brulee. A must try. Yum!
I thought of Amelie, too!
