This recipe for Oatmeal Brulee with Ginger Cream is what I call a Real Sleeper. When I picked it out for our holiday cooking class I thought it would be very nice and something interesting to try. Oh My Gosh . . . It is fabulous! It ended up being the favorite of the entire class. This recipe makes for a great dessert or you could even fix this for Christmas morning breakfast!
