Ingredients

  • 1 grapefruit
  • Brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (I used plain 2%)
  • 1/2 cup muesli or granola
  • Honey to taste
  • 1 tablespoon mint chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Turn oven broiler on high.
  • Peel grapefruit and cut it into 1/2" slices. Cut off the bitter pith around the edge of each slice. If you don't want to have to use a knife to eat them, cut the pieces into quarters from there. Arrange slices on a foil-lined baking sheet. Dab the top of each piece with a piece of paper towel to dry it off. Spread a thin layer of brown sugar on each piece. Broil for around 8 minutes or until the sugar is bubbling but not burned.
  • Meanwhile, add Greek yogurt and muesli to a bowl.
  • Once the grapefruit is done, add it to the bowl. Add a bit of chopped fresh mint if desired. Drizzle the whole thing with honey and eat immediately.

Notes

  • You can also brûlée whole grapefruit halves if you prefer (as pictured in third photo). The process is pretty much the same - you'd spread about a tablespoon of brown sugar on the top of each half. To make the halves more stable, cut a little off the bottom so you have a flat base. If you have a kitchen torch, you can use it to brûlée the grapefruit halves rather than broiling them to get an even deeper amber color.You can add the melted sugar that's left on the bottom of the baking sheet if you have enough left over. I personally prefer the honey, but either is fine!
