How to Make Bruleed Irish Oatmeal

  1. Spread 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar thinly on a baking sheet and let it dry uncovered overnight.
  2. Using a sieve or spice grinder, finely grind the dried brown sugar.
  3. Set the ground brown sugar aside.
  4. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups whole milk and 1 cup water to a boil.
  5. Stir in 1 cup steel-cut oats and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the oats reach your desired consistency and most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
  8. Spoon the cooked oatmeal into individual oven-safe bowls or a large casserole dish.
  9. Sprinkle the ground brown sugar evenly over the oatmeal.
  10. **Broiler Method:** Place the dish under a preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully, until the sugar forms a golden-brown crust. OR **Torch Method:** Use a kitchen torch to carefully caramelize the brown sugar until golden brown.
  11. Garnish with 1/4 cup dried apple and pear chips and a drizzle of maple syrup before serving.
