I've been using this recipe for a couple of years. It is simple and always turns out right. I have been in food and beverage industry for 25 years, and my family always orders creme brulee when offered at restaurants. For a fast "at home" recipe, Alton Brown's recipe is an excellent option. As with everything, cooking times differ based on appliances, gas vs electric, etc.

AMAZING !!! If you follow the directions, temper the eggs properly, allow it to sit 15 min, and DO NOT over cook it turns out great. They will seem "jello" like after 40-45 min and so many people take that as a sign that they are not done. THEY ARE. Take them out and they will firm up in the chill chest. Have made many times and now guests beg us to make this for dessert. A+++

I'm sorry, but this recipe was completely disappointing, especially since it came form Alton Brown. I thought it was very odd that the cream-egg mixture wasn't being cooked over a double boiler before going into the water bath, and it was! The dish did not set up even though I cooked it 50% longer than suggested. So disappointing. Thanks for ruining an otherwise great birthday dinner for my husband.

The creme is runny initially but once you let it set in the fridge overnight, the texture is perfect. Delicious and very easy. I am making this again next week for christmas dinner :

A great taste even when using plain sugar instead of vanilla sugar. Have found it needs 65 minutes for a perfect texture not 45 @ 325 (f.

I've made this twice and the flavor is more than perfect!!! But my Creme brûlée doesn't get thick like it should, and is kind of runny am I doing anything wrong? Other than that my family and I devour it still :

This recipe was easy and resulted in the very best creme brulee I ever made.

Seriously delightful creme brulee! I made half a recipe with a whole vanilla bean and it was delish. Also, the half recipe made 4 servings in my 5-inch creme brulee dishes. The custard itself is not as sweet as I've had in my favorite restaurant, which is a really good thing in my book. I use the vanilla sugar in the custard and on top, so it is a vanilla lover's dream. Thanks for the recipe!
