There's something magical about cracking through that caramelized sugar shell to reach the silky custard beneath. This roasted hazelnut version is my go to when I want to impress without spending hours in the kitchen. You'll have it ready in just an hour, and honestly, most of that is hands off baking time. Eggs are packed with choline, which supports brain health, so you're treating yourself well with every spoonful. The beauty of this dessert is how simple it really is to pull together, yet it feels wonderfully fancy on the plate.

Place the ramekins into a roasting tin and pour enough cold water into the tray to come two-thirds of the way up their sides. Carefully put the roasting tin in the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until just set with a little wobble, then leave in the turned-off oven with the door ajar to cool for 2 hours and set.

Preheat the grill to high. Put the ramekins onto a baking tray, then sprinkle 1 tsp caster sugar in an even layer over each brulée. Grill – or use a blowtorch – until the sugar melts and caramelises to a golden brown colour, 2-4 minutes. Leave to cool until the sugar has set, then serve imediately.
