Created by chef Alvin Cailan, this delicious breakfast meal is called the Egg Brulee and it incorporates all the flavorful aesthetics of a creme brulee atop a traditional [soft-boiled egg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-scrambled-eggs). A creme brulee is a very popular French dessert that involves the melting of caramel done by a blowtorch. Just like the European cuisine, this dish also involves a blowtorch but with sugar in place of caramel. With sugar, salt and eggs, this dish requires minimal ingredients and can be made at home. However, this dessert-inspired egg dish does require the use of a blowtorch and unfortunately cannot be made without one. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Dessert-inspired Breakfast:** The Eggslut's Egg Brulee demonstrates the emerging trend of dessert-inspired breakfast dishes, offering an opportunity for restaurants and food companies to explore creative flavor combinations and satisfy consumers' cravings for indulgent morning meals. - **Hybrid Cuisine:** The Egg Brulee's fusion of creme brulee and soft-boiled egg showcases the trend of hybrid cuisine, presenting an opportunity for chefs and entrepreneurs to experiment with unlikely flavor combinations and create unique food experiences. - **Blowtorch Cooking:** The use of a blowtorch in preparing the Egg Brulee highlights the trend of blowtorch cooking, opening up opportunities for kitchen equipment manufacturers and cooking enthusiasts to develop innovative tools and techniques for achieving precise and caramelized finishes in dishes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Restaurant and Food Service:** The dessert-inspired breakfast trend and the popularity of dishes like Egg Brulee provide an industry opportunity for restaurants and food service providers to expand their menu offerings and attract customers seeking unique and indulgent breakfast options. - **Food and Beverage Manufacturing:** The rise of dessert-inspired breakfast dishes creates a potential market opportunity for food and beverage manufacturers to develop and produce pre-packaged versions of innovative creations like the Egg Brulee, allowing consumers to enjoy these unique flavors conveniently at home. - **Kitchen Equipment and Tools:** The use of blowtorches in recipes like the Egg Brulee presents an industry opportunity for kitchen equipment and tools manufacturers to design and market specialized blowtorch models and accessories tailored to the needs of chefs and home cooks experimenting with blowtorch cooking techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Breakfast-Inspired Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-egg-easter.md) - [Michelin-Star Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhubarbs-sandwich.md) - [Frozen Pre-Caramelized Crème Brûlées](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extra-special-classic-crme-brle.md) - [Salmon-Centric Breakfast Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggslut-japan.md) - [Egg Mousse Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggcado-breakfast-sandwich.md) - [Soft Serve Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evana-patisserie-cafe.md) - [Savory Egg Croffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croffle-savory.md) - [Premium Egg Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-eggs-benedict.md) - [Plant-Based Dessert Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-de-creme.md)
