Directions:
Place the cream, milk and sugar in a heavy bottom pot. Cut the vanilla bean in half and scrape out the inside with the back of a knife adding it to the pot. Bring the mix to a high simmer. Turn off the heat, cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Place the egg yolks in a large bowl. Pour half of the hot milk into the egg yolks and mix well. Pour this mixture back into the pot and mix until evenly incorporated with the other half. Pour this mixtrure through a fine strainer into another bowl. Pour the custard into 4 brulee bowls. Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake for about 40 minutes at 225º. When ready, you can lightly shake the custard and it will move together. If centre is loose looking, give it a few more minutes.

If you like it warm, serve it now. if you like it chilled, leave in refrigerator overnight. For topping, place a tablespook of sugar in the raw on top, evenly spread out on the surface and carmelize with a torch or lightly brown in a broiler.
