How to Make Fabulous Broiled Breakfast Grapefruit

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Cut the grapefruit in half.
  3. Gently loosen the grapefruit sections with a spoon or small knife, being careful not to break them.
  4. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of brown sugar evenly over the grapefruit sections. Adjust the amount to your liking; more sugar will result in a sweeter, more caramelized flavor.
  5. Optional: For the full "Fabulous" experience, place the grapefruit halves cut-side up on a baking sheet and broil for 2-4 minutes, or until the brown sugar melts and begins to caramelize and crisp slightly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  6. If skipping the broiling step, enjoy the grapefruit immediately.
  7. Spoon out the grapefruit sections and savor the delicious, sweet and slightly tart flavor!
