Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions:

• 1. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
• 2. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Heat the heavy cream with the vanilla bean and seeds in a saucepan until it is hot but not boiling.
• 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
• 4. Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
• 5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or vanilla bean pieces.
• 6. Divide the mixture into ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water to create a water bath.
• 7. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
• 8. Let the custards cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• 9. Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of brown sugar on top of each custard and caramelize it using a kitchen torch.
