Day 34: Creme Brulee && Corn Flake covered Chicken

I changed the settings to serves 2, instead of serves 4. Just double everything if you want more then 2 servings.

Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream
2 1/2 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup or so of light brown sugar.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Whisk the cream, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Mix it all up until it gets nice and creamy. Pour this mixture into ramekins (those little ceramic dishes). I got it evenly distributed between 4 7-ouncers. I suppose you could pour it all into one smallish casserole dish too. Place the ramekins in a baking pan Fill the baking pan with hot water, about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Place the pan with the ramekins in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour or so. After 45 minutes or so check them every ten minutes. You'll know they're done when you can stick a knife in one and it comes out clean. Remove the ramekins from the baking pan, set them on the counter, and let them cool for 15 minutes or so.

Then put them in the refrigerator and let them chill overnight.

Sprinkle a thin layer of the light brown sugar on the top of each. Make sure it's a THIN layer, but also make sure it completely covers the custard. Now torch it! Or, if you don't have a torch, you can supposedly put them under the broiler for a minute or so. You just need to carmelize the brown sugar

What we thought about the Creme Brulee

Well, this was super easy to make for one, though I did set the oven mit on fire while it was on my hand in the process. I decided to top one brulee with brown sugar, and one with regular sugar. JImmy and I both preferred the one with regular surgar compared to the brown sugar, but both were good. I am not a fan of creme brulee so I let him eat mine as well as his. I just wanted to see if I could successfully make a creme brulee. We both rate these a 10.

The Corn Flake Chicken:

This is real simple. All you need is enough corn flakes to cover the amount of chicken you have. You can moisten the chicken with eggs or water. I usually use water but I had some eggs to get rid of, so i covered my chicken in eggs instead.

Put the corn flakes into a zip blog bag, smash the corn flakes, and shake the bag with the chicken in it, until chicken is fully covered. Depending on what heat you put your oven on, it can range from 15+ minutes. I have my oven set at 275 because of the creme brulee so its going to take a while.

What I thought (corn flake chicken):

It was easy, it got rid of some things in the kitchen, and I ended up being full. I would rate this a 6. One of those nights when I am not feeling cooking, I will make this again. I probably wont make this for guests though. I think kids would like this though..
