Preparation

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).

In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar and salt until pale and fluffy.


In a saucepan, combine half-and-half cream, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Bring to the boil.


Gradually pour the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture and whisk vigorously.

Pour the mixture into your ramekins.

Place the ramekins in an ovenproof dish and add hot water to the bottom of the dish up to halfway up the ramekins.

Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 45-50 minutes.


Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.

Sprinkle sugar over creams and caramelize with a blowtorch until a crisp, golden crust forms.

Enjoy !
