Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Brulée Recipes

BRûLéED BANANA OATMEAL

Steps:

• COOK THE OATMEAL: Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add the oats and salt and reduce to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has been absorbed and the oats are tender, 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat.
• PREPARE THE TOPPING: Divide the cooked oats between two bowls. Top with the sliced bananas. Sprinkle the brown sugar over both bowls in an even layer to coat the bananas and oats.
• BRULEE: Fire up your torch (see equipment notes) and sweep it across the surface of the oatmeal, moving it back and forth at a steady pace until all of the sugar has caramelized.

BANANA BRULéE

Steps:

• To make the bananas brulée, quarter the bananas lengthwise (peel on) and rub into sugar to coat thoroughly.
• Remove peel and place on cooling rack over several layers of foil. (Don't try this on your dining room table.).
• Don your safety goggles and fire up your torch. Hold the torch so that the very tip of the flame barely touches the banana, and move quickly back and forth until the sugar melts, turns brown, and bubbles. As soon as it looks like caramel, move on. You know you've got it down when a solid, glasslike sheet of gold (no graininess) has formed on the banana.
