Grapefruit Brulee

This recipe is very elegant and perfect with Sunday brunch.  It’s so easy, I’m not even sure you could call it a recipe.  I love how the brulee element adds the wow factor to the grapefruit.  Warming the grapefruit makes it extra juicy and the brulee topping adds sweetness and texture.
The recipe calls for a kitchen torch.  If you don’t have one, you can use the broiler setting on your oven.  Just keep a close eye on them.  They cook really fast.



Grapefruit Brulee

1 grapefruit, cut in half
2 teaspoons sugar

1.      Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar on top of each grapefruit half.
2.      With a kitchen torch, melt the sugar and caramelize it.  When it starts to turn a golden color, it is done.
3.      Let the sugar cool and harden for a couple minutes.
4.      Serve and enjoy!
