Grands! Breakfast Brûlées
"This recipe was a finalist in the 2004 Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest #41. It didn't take the top honor of being awarded the Grand Prize of $1,000,000 (which that honor went to a Honey 'n Oat Granola Pie recipe), but it's still a fabulous breakfast or brunch dish. It's fluffy biscuits baked to a golden finish floating on top of a sweet and creamy vanilla custard base. The recipe recommends using 6-oz size baking ramekins. But some of the reviewers stated they used custard cups with success, and some even used muffin pans with good results. The tip here is to use a baking dish with high enough sides to ensure the custard filling--the best part!--doesn't ooze out during baking."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 8 ramekins (6-ounce size) with nonstick cooking spray; place ramekins on a baking sheet; set baking sheet aside.
Step 2
In medium bowl, beat eggs, cream, nutmeg and yogurt with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
Step 3
Separate dough into 8 biscuits. With a sharp knife, slice each biscuit in half (ending with 16 dough rounds).
Step 4
Place sugar in a small dish. Brush both sides of each dough round with the melted butter. Then dip each side of the biscuit rounds in the sugar. Place 1 dough round in the bottom of each baking ramekin.
Step 5
Spoon 1/4 cup of the yogurt mixture over dough round in each of the baking ramekins. Top each with one of the remaining dough rounds.
Step 6
Place baking sheet in oven and let bake 20 to 25 minutes or until biscuit tops are a deep golden brown. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
