Brûléed Grapefruit is a perfect, quick, seasonal breakfast for this time of year.
This past week I’ve been in Texas visiting our family. We’ve had a lot of delicious meals and continued to feast well beyond the usual holiday season splurge. As things get back to normal after the holidays and after all of the feasting, I tend to cut back a little bit on rich foods. One thing I don’t ever cut out is breakfast. I love getting creative with making morning meals that are both satisfying and cleansing for my favorite meal of the day. This is a recipe for Maple Grapefruit Brûlée.
Brûléeing a grapefruit is quite easy. You can do it one of two ways: with a kitchen torch or under your oven broiler. I don’t have a kitchen torch so I choose the latter. You simply cut the grapefruit in half, smear a bit of honey or maple syrup on top and a bit of brown sugar then place under the broiler for 3 minutes, making for a perfectly sweet topping for such a tart fruit.

Oh girl, this looks amazing! I have a few grapefruit in the fridge and I know what I'm going to do with them! 🙂
I continue to be completely obsessed with grapefruit this winter. Pregnancy craving? I'll be trying this for sure!
This is such a fun idea. Although I usually add salt to my grapefruit.
I love the maple syrup idea. This makes me want to drive south of our border and get some Texas grapefruits!
We make this all of the time. Love it!
This looks delightful!
I have always wanted to try this – and I have some grapefruit on hand right now!!
Made this the other day. And loved it!
