Creme Brulee for breakfast? No, I haven't lost my mind!
The custard in this low fat creme brulee is actually Greek yogurt sweetened with fruit preserves on the bottom, and topped with fresh fruit. What a fancy way to serve breakfast or even dessert with very little effort while making you look like a rock star in the kitchen!
This recipe is so easy to make, and it's absolutely delicious! Use your favorite fruit preserves and top with the same fresh fruit. I highly recommend using a creme brulee torch
This would be perfect for a Mother's day brunch or dessert if you're having a dinner party. Be sure you have enough fuel in your torch and you may want to experiment with one before you making this for a large crowd.
This can be made for one or more than a dozen; assemble the preserves and yogurt ahead of time then add the sugar right when you are about to torch the sugar. If you add the sugar sooner, the sugar will be absorbed by the yogurt and it won't work. I recommend serving immediately. Enjoy!!

Using a torch






















Gina, what if you don't have a torch? Can you do this under the broiler?
ReplyDeleteI've done it under the broiler- it works but it definitely isn't as pretty as with a torch. Tastes just as good though :)
DeleteI have also done it under a broiler, in an electric oven. It does work just as well :)
DeleteThat looks so elegant! I definitely have to try this. I'm not a fan of real creme brulee (not a fan of custards in general) but I love yogurt and I love, Love, LOVE burnt sugar!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea!
Brilliant! I'm going to make this to impress my friends :D
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. I adore creme brulee, but the typical high-fat custard keeps me from eating it regularly. THIS I could eat every day :).
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I can't wait to try this one out. I love your blog!

What a clever idea! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCreme Brulee for breakfast sounds like a brilliant idea to me.
ReplyDeleteIt was delicious, and took me like 5 minutes to make. I'll be making this often!
ReplyDeleteA broiler would work but the torch works better.
Sounds awesome... my hubby's birthday is coming up and I was looking for something special to make, thanks!
ReplyDeleteQuestion... if I was to make this in the broiler would you put it on hi or low and aprox. how far from the broiler would you position the creme brulee?
What a FANTASTIC concept! Wish this post had existed a couple days ago as it would have been a perfect addition to my Sunday brunch. Next time. :)
ReplyDeletedangerous! I'm going to have to make this soon- Creme brulee is my favorite dessert!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea!! Makes breakfast so much more interesting.
ReplyDeleteGina, can you use soy yogurt instead as a non-dairy option?
ReplyDeleteI'm so into greek yogurt right now, and this looks so good! I can't wait to try it with Marionberry preserves and fresh marionberries this summer!
ReplyDeleteYou are my hero!!! This is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteYUM!
ReplyDeleteA local restaurant does the same thing with oatmeal. Jam on the bottom, brulee on the top. It's fantastic.
I'm sure soy yogurt would work, as long as the yogurt isn't to wet, any yogurt should be ok.
ReplyDeleteI would broil on high close to the flame, keeping an eye on it.
Shoelover, yogurt creme brûlée?
oooh vanilla yogurt would probably be even yummier?
ReplyDeletehaha, didn't realize you already have vanilla greek yogurt as the ingredient. you're awesome, can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteWow -- that might get my 12-year old out of the bed in the morning! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant! I love Greek yogurt and raspberry preserves. Will definitely be putting my torch to use on this soon.
ReplyDeleteWow..i can't wait to try this one. Thank you
ReplyDeleteoh gee you got my heart to skip a beat! dessert and practically guilt free! love it! going to make these this weekend! thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing way to start the day!
ReplyDelete@Gina,
ReplyDeleteThe oatmeal brulee at our restaurant does have jam on the bottom, then a layer of steel-cut oatmeal with dried fruit and nuts, then the brulee sugar crust on the top. No yogurt. It's delicious.
I have to try your recipe--it just sounds fabulous.
This sounds amazing! Any time I can have dessert for breakfast I'm a happy girl.:)

I just made this for breakfast. It was SO easy and delicious! My 2 year old inhaled it, and was totally impressed with my torchwork! Thanks, Gina!
ReplyDeleteI had the creme brulee for breakfast and the shrimp salad on bagel thin for lunch, bith delicious. People on WW eat well!
ReplyDeleteAaaah such a wonderful way to start the day. THANKS!!
ReplyDeleteSOOOOOO happy I found your blog!! Thanks, Gina
ReplyDeleteCHO my goodness! This is incredible. I can't wait to share it with our fans!
ReplyDeleteEmily, Chobani
Great Emily!!
ReplyDeleteI recommend trying it with the Stonyfield Honey Vanilla Greek Style Yogurt - AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteHmmm! That looks tasty and yummy! I got hungry when i was about to view your blog. Damn! Thanks for the share!
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing, we are definitely going to try this soon. We have shared it with our gluten-free fans on www.facebook.com/glutenista too!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome, I must try this but as usual in my family will probably be the only one :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an ingenious idea!
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic is this? WOWEE!! Can't wait to try it! THANKS GINA!
ReplyDeleteThis might be a strange question, but does using the torch make it a warm breakfast? I hope so!
ReplyDeleteNo, the yogurt doesn't get warm, only the sugar on top.
ReplyDeleteWow this is a great idea! You get the look and texture of the dessert but in a healthy way!
ReplyDeleteDelicious! Just made this for our dessert! My husband and I love it. I used Honey/Strawberry Greek Yogurt and raspberry sugar on top. Perfection! Great recipe!
ReplyDeleteThis was great! I used no sugar added strawberry preserves, and Yoplait Honey Vanilla Greek yogurt. It felt like a decadent dessert!
ReplyDeleteJust made this for dessert, using low sugar raspberry jam and raspberries on top. It was a little sweet, using the Trader Joe's Vanilla Greek Yogurt. I think next time I'll just muddle a handful of raspberries with a little red wine vinegar to put at the bottom. I'm going to try the Oatmeal one another reader suggested - that sounds great!
ReplyDeleteUpdate: Made an oatmeal version - and it was AMAZING. Raspberry preserves on the bottom, and to 1 cup of cooked oatmeal added a chopped banana and 2 Tbsp Better'n Peanut Butter. Assemble per original instructions. Top with a couple of fresh raspberries. Makes 2 servings. PointsPlus: 7 per the recipe builder, 5 per the tracker. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteCan I use regular sugar? And if I do how much will the we pointplus be?
ReplyDeleteSure, points would be the same.
