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.

The meringue was a bit too soft for my liking. I would have preferred it to be a bit crispier.

This recipe was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a sweeter grapefruit.

I'm not a fan of torching the meringue, but I still enjoyed this dish. The grapefruit and meringue were a great combination.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making cookies or cakes, and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not usually a fan of grapefruit, but this dish changed my mind. The bruleed meringue was the perfect complement to the tart fruit.

This dessert was a huge hit at my dinner party! The combination of the tart grapefruit and the sweet, torched meringue was divine. I will definitely be making this again.
