Broiled Grapefruit

This morning, I made the mistake of going on a walk and getting coffee with a friend... (that's not the part that was the mistake) ... and when I drink coffee I feel full ... so I forgot to eat breakfast (the mistake). Around 9:00, I started deciding what I was going to make for lunch... at 9:00. As I go through Pinterest, trying to find the perfect easy recipe to try... for lunch. Then I looked at the clock and realized - THIS IS MADNESS! I realized that I forgot to eat and that I should probably take care of that before I started eating everything in sight.

Then, I remembered this idea I pinned a while ago on Pinterest (yes, I actually do try the things I pin!) and decided to try it. The recipe comes from this blog. I followed the recipe as is, but I'll make a  {few notes} as we go.

Ingredients
1 grapefruit, cut in half and segmented with a serrated knife
1T butter, melted
2T brown sugar
cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, etc {I only used cinnamon... because I'm in love with cinnamon}

Instructions
Turn on your broiler and position the rack in the top shelf, as close to the broiler as you can get it

Halve and segment your grapefruit. You might need to take a little slice off the bottoms so that they don’t roll around. {since it's just me, I saved half for later - and, as you can see, I sliced a bit off the bottom as recommended}

Mix butter, brown sugar, and desired spices until they form a thick paste. {I kept half of it off to the side to use on the other half later}

Place grapefruit halves in a broiler-safe pan and smear the butter/sugar paste on top. {I tried to make an easy cleanup by putting down some foil... it didn't work. There was some juice... it moved around a bit and did not follow my directions to stay on the foil}

Broil grapefruit halves for 4-6 minutes, keeping an eye on them and rotating if necessary. {I did 5 min}

see that run-off over there...

Remove from oven and serve warm. Yum! {It is yummy! Still just a tiny bit tart, but with that sweet goodness... it's tender and oh so tasty! Did someone say dessert for breakfast?}
