Crème Brûlée Crumpet

Crème Brûlée Crumpet

By OcadoLifePublished on 06 October 2026For a treat brunch that takes less than 10 minutes to make, try this Crum-pet Brûlée from OcadoLife food editor Lauren Hoffman. The grilled sugar topping brings a wonderful crunch that contrasts with the soft crumpets, creamy custard and fruit. A mix of raspberries, blackberries and blueberries works well, or you could use your favourite fruit compote if you prefer.
