Crème brûlée made sous vide takes the guesswork out of the custard entirely — no water bath in the oven, no checking for a wobble. Four egg yolks, heavy cream, sugar and vanilla go straight into mini mason jars, sealed, and sit at 179F for thirty minutes. The four hours in the fridge afterward are not optional; that is when it sets. Then a spoonful of sugar on top and a blowtorch, or your broiler if you don’t have one.
