As a child my grandmother would make this recipe and then defend each piece like a guardian. It seemed a magical threat. So when I tried it a few days ago and realized how easy the recipe is it seemed like gaining a new magical grade :)

Naming: I did some research and found out that the “creme brulee” term is not the best. A more precise equivanlent is: “creme renverse au caramel”.

Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 1l milk
• vanilla extract
• 200g + 6-7 tbs sugar

Method

I baked this recipe in a glass tray approximatively 15x20x4 cm 3 clay pots.

• melt the 6-7 tbs of sugar sugar in a pan then use it to cover the bottom of the glass tray. In order to assure the sugar does not solidifies on touch the glass tray must be warmed before (5 mins in the oven). Wait for the sugar to solidify
• mix the rest of the ingredients (including the 200g of remaining sugar) and pour it over the solidified sugar
• cook it in the oven for 45 minutes on a low flame or until the mixture gets a light brown color.
• let it cool for a long time
• turn it over in a larger recipient and serve it cold
• enjoy it
