Spiced Honey-Broiled Grapefruit Will Sweeten Up Your Next Breakfast

If you're looking for a sweet change to your everyday breakfast, start with your fruit.

With the addition of only three ingredients and a mere five minutes in the oven, the citrus fruit transforms from a basic breakfast staple into a healthy, decadent treat that will satisfy any sweet tooth. Whether it's served alongside your favorite oatmeal or as a dessert dish, honey-broiled grapefruit will quickly become a welcome spin on fresh produce in your kitchen.

Spiced Honey-Broiled Grapefruit

Original Recipe

Ingredients

1. 1 grapefruit
   2 teaspoons honey
   Pinch of nutmeg
   Pinch of cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to the "broil" setting.
2. Slice the grapefruit in half width-wise, then use your knife to loosen the fruit sections from the surrounding peel. (This will make it easier to spoon out the fruit after baking.)
3. Drizzle each half with 1 teaspoon of honey, being especially generous toward the center of the fruit. (For a sweeter fruit, feel free to use more honey or add brown sugar on top of the usual sweetener. This is especially good for holiday brunches or decadent dessert grapefruits.)
4. Sprinkle nutmeg and cinnamon atop the honeyed grapefruit halves, then place on a lined baking sheet.
5. Broil for 5 minutes. You can allow the grapefruits to bake for a few minutes longer if you desire a well-done, golden-brown appearance.
