Creme Brulee

[suzz]

I'm craving creme brulee. My best of the best is at Epernay in Montclair where they serve it in a shallow oval casserole that allows for a mouthful of crisp sugary topping in every bite. Any suggestions for other places to enjoy this decadent dessert?

If you want to serve it at home, I suggest picking one up at Patisserie St. Michel in Teaneck. In addition to classic vanilla, they can also be had in Pumpkin, Mango, Pistachio and other seasonal flavors. Best to call in advance to reserve or order your tarte. There is usually a few pieces available by the slice in the cabinet, and they are very generous with the tastings if you are having trouble deciding.

Creme brulee is not a tarte but a custard baked in a shallow ramekin, after which a burnt sugar topping is added.

At Patisserie St. Michel, its served in a pastry shell crust instead of a ramekin. Specifically, its a Creme Brulee Tarte.

An excellent Creme Brulee can also be had at Latour in Ridgewood.

We also had a really good creme brulee recently (Pumpkin) at The Pasta Factory in Teaneck.

Rachel and I actually fought over spoonfuls of this one.
