Fresh Fruit & Oat Brûlée

May 22, 2014 by Brett Youmans 10 Comments

Fresh Fruit & Oat Brûlée Memorial Day is the day we honor the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.  It’s always the last Monday in May and is generally thought of as the beginning of vacation season, warmer weather cookouts, and picnics in the park.  My salute to Memorial Day is my red, white, and blue Fresh Fruit & Oat Brûlée!

I absolutely love oats!  They are incredibly versatile, can be made in advance and heated as desired, and tweaked a zillion way to your liking.  For this recipe, use your favorite oats and preferred way of cooking.  I always choose Bob’s Red Mill Organic Steel Cut Oats (also known as Pinheads or Irish Oats).  And, to really enhance the nutty flavor of the oats, toast them in the oven or saute in a skillet on the stove top until golden brown before cooking — it’s definitely worth the extra effort!

Besides it’s hearty deliciousness, there are so many healthful reasons to love oats:

  • It lowers cholesterol
  • May reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure
  • It lowers risk of diabetes
  • It’s full of antioxidants
  • It stabilizes blood sugar
  • It boosts immune system
  • It’s gluten-friendly

With so much happening outside, who has any extra time to spend in the kitchen this time of year?  That’s exactly why my recipe for Fresh Fruit & Oat Brûlée is perfect — it takes just a few ingredients and comes together in a snap.  The hard part is deciding whether to have it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.  Confession:  I love it for dessert!

Besides water and salt, here’s all you will need:

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4!

Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup heavy cream, plus additional for serving
  • ¾ cup steel cut oats
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup sliced banana
  • ½ cup sliced strawberries
  • ½ cup whole blueberries
  • ¼ cup turbinado sugar
Instructions
  1. Bring water and cream to a boil. Add oats and salt and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cover and cook, stirring every few minutes, until liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes.
  2. Heat oven on broil setting. Place 4 (1-cup capacity) oven-safe ramekins or custard cups on a rimmed baking sheet. Divide cooked oats among ramekins and top with fresh fruit as desired. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon sugar.
  3. Monitoring carefully, place baking sheet with ramekins under broiler until sugar has melted and caramelized, about 2-3 minutes. Alternately, use a culinary torch to accomplish this.
  4. Serve warm with heavy cream as desired.
Notes
To enhance the nutty flavor of the oats, toast them in the oven or saute in a skillet on the stove top until golden brown before cooking — it’s definitely worth the extra effort!

Use your favorite oats and preferred way of cooking.

Perfect use of leftover cooked oats!

    This looks so good Brett. It is kind of like my favorite creation at Whole Foods. I love their steel cut oats with bananas, blueberries, brown sugar, and I must confess, a couple of pieces of their thick bacon. Oh, breakfast heaven! Now I’m going to need caramelized sugar on top! Steel cut oats make it all OK, don’t they? Have a happy 4th.

      My thoughts exactly Karen! 🙂 I never can decide if this is better as a dessert or breakfast.

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com
Strawberry blossoms are an indication of a heavy crop this year.
Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
