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 for the Perfect Broiled Breakfast Grapefruit: A Burst of Citrusy Goodness

  • Select the Right Grapefruit: Choose grapefruits that are firm, heavy for their size, and have a smooth, unblemished rind. Avoid grapefruits with soft spots or bruises.
  • Prepare the Grapefruit Properly: Cut the grapefruit in half crosswise. Then, use a sharp knife to remove the core and any remaining pith. To enhance the flavor, sprinkle a bit of sugar or honey on each grapefruit half before cooking.
  • Broil at the Right Temperature: Preheat your broiler to high heat. Place the grapefruit halves on a baking sheet or broiler pan and broil for 5-7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and bubbly.
  • Add Toppings for Extra Delight: Experiment with different toppings to elevate the taste of your broiled grapefruit. Popular options include butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or a dollop of yogurt. For a sweet and tangy touch, drizzle some honey or maple syrup on top.
  • Serve Warm or Chilled: Broiled grapefruit can be enjoyed both warm, straight out of the broiler, or chilled, as a refreshing breakfast treat. If serving chilled, let it cool completely before refrigerating for at least an hour.
