If you have a ... um ... I think you guys call it a broiler? It is that part of the cooking apparatus in your kitchen in which you can expose the cooking yummehs to intense heat from above, then you can pre-heat the broiler to intense hotness and then slide the creme brulee dusted with brown sugar under the heat briefly until the sugar has melted. The key is to pre-heat the apparatus.
