Fabulous Broiled Breakfast Grapefruit

Recipe #106986 | 6 min | 3 min prep | add private note

I saw this recipe on T.V. somewhere several years ago, and I've been making it ever since. I get lazy and don't bother to broil the grapefrut any more, but it still tastes great! Even my 3-yr. old now eats grapefruit this way.

SERVES 1 -2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut grapefruit in half (midway between the stem-end and the dot on the opposite end).
  2. 2
    Sprinkle brown sugar over grapefruit sections, using more or less as desired.
  3. 3
    Grapefruit can be eaten as is, or broiled.
  4. 4
    To broil, put halves sugar-side up on a cookie sheet in the oven and set oven on broil for a few minutes.
  5. 5
    The brown sugar should melt and start to get crispy.
  6. 6
    Eat immediately by spooning out the half-sections of grapefruit.

    Very Yummy. Made using Splenda Brown Sugar for baking. This has always been my favorite way to eat grapefruit. Thanks for posting it.

    One of the first recipes I learned to make as a kid in 4-H. They called it a "Grapefruit Eye-opener". Just bought grapefruit spoons at the request of DH but have always cut them in half, then between the membranes in each little section before broiling to make it easier to eat. Thanks for a yummy - quick way to star the day and a great way to introduce grapefruit to children.

    YUM, this is my favorite way to eat grapefruit. Before this I ate it cold with white sugar. I like the brown sugar and the warmed fruit, it adds a special touch the flavor is fantastic. I cut between the membranes to loosen sections prior to broiling so it's easy to eat with a spoon. I then squeeze the heck out of each half into my spoon and drink up the juice (leaving out any seeds that get squeezed out). Then I grab my bowl and slurp any leftover juice that's dripped! LOL, not very womanly, I know, but it's so good!
