Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 5 min.
Rinse 300 g egg-plant or aubergine and cut into fairly thick slices.
As you can see in the photo, I am using the delicious, long, purple aubergines that are sometimes available. I find them more interesting than the usual dark variety.

Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top.
