  1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Combine heavy cream, granulated sugar, and split and scraped Tahitian vanilla beans in a saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until just simmering. Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and let steep for 60 minutes to infuse vanilla flavor.
  4. Whisk egg yolks and Fleur de Sel in a separate bowl.
  5. Temper the egg yolks by slowly drizzling about 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture into the yolks while whisking constantly.
  6. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream. Stir to combine.
  7. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth.
  8. Pour the custard into six ramekins.
  9. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Ensure the water level is consistent.
  10. Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until the custard is just set. The center should still have a slight wobble.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the water bath. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
  12. Before serving, sprinkle each creme brulee with an even layer of Demerara sugar.
  13. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until golden brown and brittle. Rotate the ramekin for even caramelization.
