Things You'll Need:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cups half-and-half
- 3 1/2 cups water
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Additional half-and-half
- Fresh berries
- Propane torch (optional)
-
Step 1
Beat yolks and brown sugar in top of a double boiler. Place over boiling water and whisk until pale and thick (about 5 minutes). Cool and stir in the 3/4 cups of half-and-half.
-
Step 2
Combine water and oats in saucepan, bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally until thick (about another 5 minutes).
-
Step 3
Stir in half of yolk mixture. Fill four 6-oz ramekin cups (or other small oven proof dish) with oatmeal until 2/3 full. Top each dish with 1-2 tablespoons of the remaining yolk mixture. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
-
Step 4
Carefully torch tops of oatmeal until caramelized and golden. This can also be accomplished by broiling oatmeal three inches from the top of the oven for 1-2 minutes.
-
Step 5
Crack crispy tops and fill with additional half-and-half and fresh berries. Enjoy!
