Meyer Lemon Creme Brulee
- 2 full eggs
- 6 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup fresh squeezed Meyer lemon juice
- Meyer lemon zest (I use however many lemons 1/3 cup takes)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1-2 tablespoons raw sugar per custard
- Preheat oven to 300F.
- Boil water in a pot on stove
- Whisk two eggs, egg yolks and sugar and beat until light yellow and firm.
- Add heavy cream, Meyer lemon zest and lemon juice, and fold together.
- Line a deep baking dish with a paper towel, place six ramekins inside on top of paper and ladle mixture evenly between ramekins.
- Pour water into baking dish as a warm water bath for the custard to cook in, halfway up the ramekins and place in the middle rack of the oven for 40-50 min. Edges should be firm when done, but middle should be wobbly.
- Take out and let cool outside in water bath. Refrigerate.
- Before serving, add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar in the row on top of each custard, swirl sugar to coat custard completely, and caramelize in broiler mode until sugar bubbles (or use a torch).
- Re-refrigerate or serve.
