Bacon brûlée - this may be fun

Sign in to disble this ad
So, I just put this into the waterbath in the oven to bake. It'll be done in about 20 minutes or so, then needs to cool for a few hours.
Basically, I'm doing a variation on crème brûlée. While making the milk/cream mixture, I infused bacon flavor. I bought some smoked bacon, crisped it up nice, made it into about 1/4" chunks, and then simmered it in the milk/cream for 15 minutes. Filter out the chunks, and then just follow any normal crème brûlée recipe. I don't know how I'm going to handle the torched top, yet. I was either thinking of putting the bacon chunks back on, and then torching turbinado sugar on top, or just making a layer of bacon on top.

I'll certainly post results when I get around to eating it. It'll be a few hours, but I figured the TB OT bacon crew would like to hear about this.

I'm impressed with the right accents at the right places.

Tu parles français ?

I have it on good authority that cheesecake with real bacon crumbled on top is the ultimate dessert...

Ok, so yeah, no pictures, sorry.
Overall though, it was a success. I do need to modify the recipe a little bit I think though, as it was just missing "something". Still very good and very edible, just needs some help.

And no, I don't speak, read, or write a lick of French at all. I do usually know where to put accents on food stuffs though, and it's a minor pet peeve of mine when people don't put them on :P

Dude, just candy the bacon and garnish with it.

I once tried to make a hot mustard brulee to go with some white-tail sausage we made. I've still got to work on it though.

Crème brûlée with candied bacon? This deserves a name of its own!

A shiny pig?
