The culinary equivalent to a walk on the beach, breakfast in bed is no new concept. It’s a common thought in a commonplace. I don’t mean to minimize its significance, as there’s beauty in the simple, especially when the company is good. What I mean to say is this: Why not turn the ordinary into something profound by adding a little art to the mix?

Ingredients

1 cup of your favorite yogurt (I love Greek)
2 tsp of sugar, raw is best
mixed berries or fresh berry compote
granola (recipe follows)

Instructions

Divide your granola and/or fruit among four 8-ounce ramekins. Fill the ramekins to the top with the yogurt. Cover and put in the freezer for 5 minutes.

Sprinkle 2 teaspoons sugar over each ramekin. Caramelize the sugar with a blowtorch by slowly moving the flame back and forth. Let the sugar harden,
about 2 minutes, before serving.
