Grapefruit Brûlée
My grandma makes these for breakfast all the time. I think she started serving grapefruit this way just to get the kids to eat it, but everyone liked it so much that it stuck.
Grapefruit Brûlée
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: 6 - 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 3 or 4 ruby red grapefruits
Cooking Directions
- Preheat the broiler. Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven. In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Halve each grapefruit. Using a pairing knife, cut around the edge of the grapefruit and between the segments.
- Arrange the grapefruit halves on a baking sheet or broiler pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the grapefruit halves. Place under the broiler for about 5 minutes, until the sugar is golden brown and bubbly. Keeping the oven door open a bit will help prevent burning. Be sure to watch closely, the sugar will burn quickly.
