FAQs I learned in school:

What is creme brulee?

Creme brulee is creamy custard dessert with a caramelized sugar topping. 

How do I know when the custard is done?

The edges are set but the center is still jiggly. A knife inserted off center should come out clean.

How hot does the water in the water bath need to be? 

Boiling

How high should the water bath be?

Same height as custard

Is there way to brulee without a mini torch?

Yes, use your broiler!!!!! :)

2 cups of eggnog
2 eggs
1/4 cup of light brown sugar 

Preheat oven to 350.

Warm eggnog in a small pan until tiny bubbles form.  Remove from heat.

In a bowl, beat eggs until thick and creamy

Very slowly whisk the eggs into the eggnog mixture

Pour into ramekins.  Add boiling water to a baking pan large enough to hold ramekins. Water should be at least the height of the custard. BUT YOU DONT WANT IT TOO HIGH WHERE IT COULD BOIL OVER AND IMTO RAMEKINS!!!

Bake for 20 minutes and remove. If it's not done(FAQ #2) keep baking in 5 min intervals. If it never sets after a while(15 mins) toss!! :( 

Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Turn broiler on, remove ramekins and sprinkle brown sugar over the top of each dessert.

Broil until brown sugar is melted.  Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes to harden.

You could serve with fresh berries.
