Creme Brulee III Recipe

In a medium bowl stir together eggs and sugar until smooth; set aside. In the top of a double boiler over simmering water heat cream until bubbles start to form at edges. Remove from heat and whisk into egg mixture a little at a time until fully incorporated. Return mixture to double boiler and cook stirring constantly until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Cook 2 minutes more then remove from heat. Cool completely. Stir in vanilla.

Preheat oven broiler.

Pour cooled mixture into a 1 quart shallow baking dish and place dish in an ice bath in a larger ovenproof dish. Sprinkle brown sugar over surface of mixture and place under preheated broiler 1 to 2 minutes until top is lightly browned and bubbly.
