This decadent cheese features a custardy texture and notes of vanilla which complement the sweetness of the brûléed sugar nicely. Serve with grapes, crackers, and crostini for the full experience.
Ingredients
- 1 wheel Point Reyes Quinta cheese
- 2–3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Preparation
With a hot, wet knife, shave off the top rind of the cheese to expose the interior. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the top of the cheese.
With a kitchen torch, brûlée the sugar for 20–30 seconds, until it is golden to medium brown. To brûlée, hold the flame 2–3 inches over one section of the sugar until it begins to melt and just starts to brown, then quickly move on to the next area to avoid burning the sugar.
Serve immediately.
