How to Make Lemon Brulee

  1. Finely grate the zest of 1 large lemon.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine the lemon zest with 1 cup of Greek yogurt. (Make sure not to overmix!)
  3. Divide the lemon yogurt mixture evenly among four 1/4 pint ramekins.
  4. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over the top of each ramekin.
  5. Preheat your broiler to high. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the sugar is melted and bubbling. Keep a close eye to prevent burning!
  6. Remove from the broiler and let cool slightly.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled before serving.
