This easy grilled grapefruit is one of the quick breakfast recipes that's great for company. It also works as an appetizer for a brunch buffet.
How German is this? Not really sure, but there are many variations of this in most of my German cookbooks. Why? Because it's so easy and delicious.
If served as appetizers, use small grapefruits. One serving is half a grapefruit. If served for breakfast, make some scrambled eggs with bacon to go along side.
You can use your grill or the oven set to broil. Need a garnish - add a maraschino cherry on top!
Although commonly called "grapefruit" in German, this delicious fruit is also known as "Pampelmuse".
