Grapefruit Brulee with Mint

This is the kind of French breakfast you’ll make on repeat — grapefruit and coconut sugar, 10 minutes, big payoff. At 123 calories and 2g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 1 Grapefruit
• 2 tbsp Coconut sugar
• 2 tbsp Fresh mint
• 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Sea salt

Steps

1. Halve the grapefruit and run a grapefruit knife or paring knife around each segment to loosen them.
2. Stir the coconut sugar with the vanilla and a pinch of salt.
3. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over each cut half; an even layer melts into glass, clumps burn.
4. Broil 4 inches from the element 3 to 4 minutes, watching constantly, until the sugar melts, bubbles, and turns deep amber.
5. Rest 2 minutes so the caramel sets with a crack.
6. Scatter torn mint over the top and serve immediately.
