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 ripe, juicy grapefruits for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the grapefruits in half, making sure not to cut through the bottom.
  • Scoop out the grapefruit flesh, leaving the rind intact.
  • Sprinkle the grapefruit flesh with sugar and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve.
  • Use a kitchen torch to brûlée the sugar on top of the grapefruit until it is golden brown and caramelized.
  • Serve the grapefruit immediately, while it is still warm and the sugar is still crispy.

Conclusion:

Brûléed grapefruit is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a simple dish to make, but it is sure to impress your guests. The combination of sweet and tart flavors, along with the crispy caramelized sugar, is simply irresistible. Whether you are serving it as a special treat or as a part of a larger meal, brûléed grapefruit is sure to be a hit.
