Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large egg whites
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
2 red grapefruits, halved crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler, with rack in lowest position. Put the egg whites and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat on medium speed until frothy, about 30 seconds. Raise speed to high, and add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until incorporated. Continue to beat until the egg whites hold stiff (but not dry) peaks, about 3 minutes.
  • Place grapefruit halves, cut sides down, on a large plate; let drain 2 minutes. Invert, and carefully cut between membranes to loosen segments completely. Spoon one-quarter of meringue onto each half, using the spoon to create swirls and peaks. Transfer to a baking pan. Broil, checking frequently, until meringues are browned, about 30 seconds. Serve immediately.Note: The eggs in this dish will not be fully cooked, so it should not be prepared for pregnant women, babies, young children, the elderly, or anyone whose health is compromised.

Tips:

  • Choose the right grapefruit: Select grapefruits that are heavy for their size, have smooth, unblemished skin, and are brightly colored.
  • Prepare the grapefruit properly: Cut the grapefruits in half crosswise and remove the pulp, leaving the peel intact. Use a sharp knife to score the inside of the peel in a crisscross pattern.
  • Make the brûlée topping: Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the sugar has dissolved and turned a light golden color.
  • Chill the grapefruit: Place the grapefruit halves in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before brûléeing.
  • Use a kitchen torch to brûlée the grapefruit: Hold the torch about 2 inches away from the surface of the grapefruit and move it back and forth until the sugar has melted and caramelized.

Conclusion:

Brûléed grapefruit is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and tangy grapefruit, creamy custard, and crispy caramelized sugar is sure to please everyone at your table. With just a few simple steps, you can create this impressive dessert that is sure to wow your guests.
