Broiled Grapefruit with Cinnamon

Each year I forget how much I LOVE grapefruit, and when we have our traditional holiday breakfast of grapefruit and eggs benedict, I remember all over again. Then, I buy a bushel of them. After a few days I’m bored with plain old grapefruit. I juice some, pawn them off on the kids, but still have way too many staring at me from the fruit bowl.
In an effort to try and spice things up a bit, and not have my grapefruit go to waste, I decided to try and brulee my morning fruit. I added cinnamon for kicks because I pretty much love cinnamon on everything.
A sprinkle of sugar, a dash of cinnamon, a few minutes under the broiler, and I had solved my bored with grapefruit problem.
Ingredients
- 1 grapefruit, halved sectioned, and seeded
- 1 tsp sugar, divided
- cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- sprinkle each grapefruit half with 1/2 tsp sugar and a dash of cinnamon (if using)
- place under the broiler, they should take about 6 minutes on high, but watch them closely, they burn very quickly
Enjoy!
Oo! I love grapefruit. It’s one of my favorite fruits. I’ve never tried it with honey and cinnamon. I may just have to try.
I hadn’t either – but it really was delicious
This looks so yummy! And what a beautiful picture!

This was one of the first “exotic” foods I tried when I was a teenager finally ready to start eating non-bland and non-pizza food. I have lots of delicious memories wrapped around broiled grapefruit – I can’t wait to try your version.
