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.

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.

  • Cut the grapefruits in half: Use a sharp knife to cut the grapefruits in half crosswise. Be careful not to cut yourself.
  • Remove the seeds: Use a spoon to remove the seeds from the grapefruit halves. You can also use a grapefruit knife to score the grapefruit flesh and then use a spoon to scoop out the segments.
  • Sprinkle the grapefruits with sugar and spices: Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the grapefruit halves.
  • Broil the grapefruits: Place the grapefruit halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil the grapefruits for 5-7 minutes, or until the sugar is melted and bubbly and the grapefruit is slightly caramelized.
  • Serve the grapefruits warm or cold: Broiled grapefruits can be served warm or cold. If you are serving them warm, let them cool for a few minutes before eating. If you are serving them cold, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
