Simple Creme Brulee

Preheat oven to 300 F. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and vanilla and heat on medium heat until almost boiling.

In a separate heat safe bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together. Set aside.

When the cream is heated, slowly drizzle it into the egg mixture and blend with a whisk. Then pour all contents back into the saucepan. Heat over medium high heat until the mixture begins to thicken. Stir constantly scraping the sides of the saucepan as you go.

When the sauce thickens, place your preferred size of individual serving size oven safe ramekins in a baking dish and fill the baking dish so that the water comes half way up the ramekins. Pour the mixture from the saucepan into the ramekins. Cover with tinfoil and bake for 40 minutes.
