Creme Brulee
["3 c. heavy cream", "1/3 c. whole milk", "3/4 c. plus 2 Tbsp. sugar, divided", "1 whole vanilla bean, or 2 tsp. vanilla extract", "6 large egg yolks", "1 large egg", "1 tsp. vanilla extract", "4-6 Tbsp. sugar, for topping"]
["In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the cream, milk and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil, watching carefully to prevent a boil-over, then remove from the heat. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, or, if using a vanilla bean, cut the vanilla bean on a cutting board in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds out with the tip of a sharp knife. Add the seeds and the pod to the pan. Let the cream mixture stand for 30 minutes."]
