Classic Crème Brûlée - I had never even tasted crème brûlée, but knowing Bill was a fan of custard desserts, I gave it a go. Pour the cream into a small saucepan. If using a vanilla bean, cut it in half lengthwise with the tip of a paring knife and, with the back of the blade, scrape out the sticky, black seeds. Add the seeds and scraped pod halves to the cream. Whisk briefly to disperse the seeds.
