Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb creme brulee
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp shallot
  • 1 medium fresh thyme
  • 1 lb dry white wine
  • a pinch kosher salt
  • 4 oz cracked black pepper
  • to taste flaky salt
Method

Step by step

  1. Bring the cold ingredients to room temperature so everything blends evenly.
  2. Mix the base until just combined -- overworking is what makes a bake tough.
  3. Get it into the oven promptly and resist the urge to open the door early.
  4. Let it cool and set properly; the patience is what makes it clean to slice.
Keep cooking
