- Hi, I'm Jerry James Stone, and you're watching
Cooking Stoned.
On today's show I'm going to make
a breakfast creme brulee.
I love creme brulee,
it's a great way to like,
it's a great presentation.
And one thing that I really love
for breakfast is oatmeal.
But, yet, oatmeal does not look pretty.
I mean, it's like it's tasty and it's healthy,
and there's so many things you can do with it,
it's great for adding nuts and fruits and all that stuff too
but, you know, it's not necessarily the most
sexiest thing to eat.
And presentation for me is really important.
I really like to make the food look as pleasing
as it is tasty and good for you.
And so I'm going to make this breakfast creme brulee
using oatmeal, and I think you're going to like it.
So you just want to go ahead and
cook the cup of oatmeal as instructed.
So I'm going to add my oats to boiling water.
And then I'm going to add in a pinch of salt,
cook it for a few minutes,
and then remove it and just let it sit covered.
So once that's...
bring that down to medium simmer and let that cook.
Now I'm just going to turn off the heat,
cover it, and remove it from the stove.
Now we're going to create our breakfast creme brulee.
So I'm going to start out with just some frozen berries.
I'm not a huge fan of frozen fruit,
I actually prefer fresh and seasonal.
But every now and then, like during the winter,
I start to crave berries.
And because they're frozen they're just not,
they dont have that, like, plumpness that
regular fresh berries have.
So finding things that I can, you know,
still appreciate their flavor in but also not have to
deal with the texture.
I'm a huge texture person, so like,
if it doesn't have the right texture it really bothers me.
So I'm just going to fill the ramekins up
with some frozen berries in the bottom.
And then we'll add in our oatmeal.
A layer of oatmeal...
to these ramekins.
I don't know why I had to say it all weird like that.
But...
There's nothing special about this oatmeal.
It's just cooked the way you would cook oatmeal.
Just fill that up.
And now I'm going to add in some dried cranberries.
But you can really use anything.
I mean, the fruit that I'm using,
the nuts that I'm using, everything that I'm using,
in this is just a suggestion.
It is not, you know, it's oatmeal.
It goes with anything.
So I'm going to add some chopped pistachios to these.
Because I want it to be crunchy and fruity.
And I'm just going to kind of smush it
down in there a little bit.
I'm going to add another layer of oatmeal.
Now I'm going to put a thin layer
of brown sugar on top.
Now, if this was like a regular creme brulee,
I wouldn't be putting this in the broiler.
But since I'm going to be...
since there's frozen fruit at the bottom,
we want that to heat up.
So I'm just going to put this
little bit of brown sugar on top and just
kind of shake it out so it evenly spaces out.
A little bit more there.
And then we're going to stick these in the broiler.
Now it's ready to enjoy.
