Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grapefruit

    Preheat the broiler in your oven. Cut the grapefruits in half crosswise and use a spoon to gently scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create a small well. This will help the sugar melt evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Topping

    In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Top the Grapefruit

    Spoon the sugar mixture evenly over the cut sides of the grapefruit halves, making sure to cover the surface completely.

  4. 4

    Broil the Grapefruit

    Place the grapefruit halves on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for about 3-5 minutes, or until the sugar is caramelized and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious grapefruit brulee warm!
