You might’ve had pancakes as a midnight snack, possibly a bread pudding made out of yesterday’s french toast for dessert, but how about creme brulee for breakfast? Let’s switch it up a bit; don’t have dessert for breakfast or breakfast for dessert, have a dessert-inspired breakfast!

Esi from Dishing up Delights adapted a Creme Brulee Oatmeal recipe she originally found on Eating Out Loud. Already a fan of the sweet and luscious dessert known as Creme Brulee, Esi knew she would love this version of it just as much. What’s not to love? It’s just as addicting and the whole fat milk she used makes it extra creamy.

I bet you’re thinking, “But I don’t have time to make something this nice for breakfast during the middle of the week!”. Well, Esi is also quite the busy gal, but this is the perfect recipe for anyone who has a tight schedule and still wants to put something nice on the table for breakfast. It comes together quite easily, just prepare it the way you would traditional oatmeal then pop it in the broiler for just a few minutes. Then dig in! That sweet golden crust on top of the oatmeal will really remind you of creme brulee!
