Salted Creme Brulee Pea Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 3 egg yolks
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 2 tbsp brown sugar, for topping

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325F.
2. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk and heat until it simmers. Turn heat off and set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until creamy and light in color.
4. Slowly pour the heated cream/milk mixture into the egg yolk/sugar mixture, stirring constantly.
5. Add the salt and fold in the frozen peas.
6. Pour the mixture into ramekins, filling them up to about 3/4 of the way full.
7. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish, then fill the dish with hot water until about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
8. Carefully transfer the whole baking dish into the oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the creme brulee is set but still a bit jiggly in the center.
9. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the ramekins cool for a bit before transferring them to the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour.
10. When ready to serve, sprinkle about 1 tbsp of brown sugar on top of each ramekin.
11. Using a kitchen torch, melt the sugar until golden and bubbly.
12. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

It can be enjoyed as is, or paired with some fresh berries and whipped cream for a sweeter touch.
