how to make bruleed grapefruit

- Cut the grapefruit in half then use a small pairing knife to cut around each segment of grapefruit (so it is easier to get out).
- Sprinkle each half with about 1 tbsp of sugar, evenly across the top.
- Transfer the grapefruits to a baking sheet and broil for 2-5 minutes, until the sugar has melted. Keep a close eye on the grapefruit so they don’t burn!
- Let them cool for a few minutes and enjoy while they’re hot.
