Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 150 grams Goat cheese (soft, room temperature)
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 4 teaspoons Granulated sugar (for brûlée topping)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the diced apples. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they soften.
Add the brown sugar to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the apples are caramelized. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, beat the goat cheese until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream and mix until well combined.
Add the honey, egg yolks, and vanilla extract to the goat cheese mixture. Stir until smooth and fluffy.
Divide the caramelized apples evenly among four ramekins, spreading them out as a base layer.
Pour the goat cheese mixture over the apples, distributing evenly among the ramekins.
Place the ramekins in a large baking dish. Pour hot water into the dish until it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins to create a water bath.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the centers are just set but still slightly jiggly.
Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
When ready to serve, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar evenly over the surface of each ramekin.
Use a culinary torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crisp golden layer. Alternatively, place the ramekins under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, tangy, and caramelized goodness of your Apple and Goat Cheese Brûlée.
