BROILED GRAPEFRUIT WITH BROWN SUGAR AND FLAKY SALT



Broiled Grapefruit With Brown Sugar and Flaky Salt image

A classic at a fancy breakfast or brunch, the best broiled grapefruits have a glossy caramelized topping covering sections of the warm, juicy citrus. This recipe also includes a little cinnamon for a heady fragrance, and a touch of sea salt, which softens the bitterness of the grapefruit peel. It's best served warm from the oven, when the brown sugar is still melted and syrupy. Ruby or pink grapefruits make for the prettiest presentation, but white ones work just as well, and have a livelier, more acidic flavor.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     breakfast, brunch

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 grapefruits, preferably pink or ruby
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Honey, for drizzling
Ground cinnamon (optional)
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Move the rack 4 inches away from the broiler, and turn it on.
  • Halve the grapefruits through their equators. Using a paring knife or a grapefruit knife, cut the sections away from the membranes and pith so they are easy to spoon up. Place grapefruit halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each grapefruit half with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, then drizzle with melted butter and a little honey. Sprinkle cinnamon over the tops if you like.
  • Broil grapefruit until the sugar melts and caramelizes, 2 to 5 minutes. (Broilers vary a lot so watch carefully to make sure they don't burn.) Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Select the right grapefruit: Choose grapefruits that are heavy for their size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid fruits with soft spots or bruises.
  • Prepare the grapefruit properly: Cut the grapefruit in half crosswise and remove any seeds. Use a sharp knife to score the flesh of the grapefruit in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut through the rind.
  • Use a good quality port wine: The port wine you use will greatly affect the flavor of the dish, so be sure to choose a good quality wine that you enjoy drinking. A tawny port or a ruby port are both good choices.
  • Don't overcook the grapefruit: Broil the grapefruit for just a few minutes, until the flesh is slightly caramelized and bubbly. Overcooked grapefruit will be tough and bitter.
  • Serve immediately: Broiled grapefruit is best served immediately, while it is still warm and juicy. You can garnish it with fresh mint or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

Conclusion:

Broiled grapefruit with port wine is a simple but elegant dessert that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of sweet and tart flavors is sure to please everyone at your table. And because it is so easy to make, you can have this delicious dessert on the table in no time.
