laiteteline

Laiteteline is a traditional French dessert originating from the region of Lorraine. It is a type of crème brûlée, but with a distinctive twist. The key difference lies in the addition of a layer of caramelized sugar on top of the crème brûlée, which is then covered with a thin layer of meringue. This meringue is typically made from egg whites and sugar, and it is baked until it becomes crisp and golden brown.

The dessert is prepared by first making a custard base, which is similar to that used in traditional crème brûlée. This custard is then baked until it sets, and a layer of caramelized sugar is spread on top. The meringue is then carefully placed on top of the caramelized sugar, and the entire dessert is baked again until the meringue is crisp and golden.

Laiteteline is often served chilled, and the meringue is typically broken into pieces before serving to create a crunchy texture. The dessert is known for its rich, creamy custard base, the sweetness of the caramelized sugar, and the crispness of the meringue. It is a popular dessert in France and is often enjoyed as a sweet treat after a meal.
