  With a title like Oatmeal Brulee, I think we could be confusing breakfast with dessert!  This dish is a great way to dress up your average morning oatmeal.  I love this recipe when I have overnight guests.  It’s simple and makes a great presentation to your guests.  Plus, if you are like me, you get that excuse to use your ramekins.

  Ingredients:

  2 c. water
  dash of salt
  1 c. quick oats
  2 Tbsp. half and half (plus some for the table)
  4 Tbsp. brown sugar
  fresh berries &  mint for garnish

  Preheat broiler.  In a medium saucepan bring water to a boil.  Stir in salt and oats.  Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until mixture is thick, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes.  Add half and half.  Spoon into 4 buttered ramekin dishes.  Sprinkle 1 Tbsp. brown sugar over each serving.  Place in oven and broil until sugar is bubbly and melted, 2 to 3 minutes.  Garnish & serve with extra half and half.

  Serve these with a bowl of fresh fruit, your favorite muffins and fresh squeezed juices and you will have a no fuss, yet lovely breakfast for your family or overnight guests. Enjoy!
