2
tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted
6 thick slices (about 3/4 inch thick) white bread
2 grapefruit, peeled, pith removed, and separated
into segments
Yields 4 servings.
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Combine
sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg on a plate or in a shallow
bowl. Pour the melted butter into another shallow
bowl. Dip the bread slices in the butter, then coat
them on both sides with the sugar and spice mix and
arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Reserve
the remaining spice mixture.
Bake
the bread until the first side begins to crisp, about
20 minutes, then flip and bake for about 10 minutes
longer. Remove the bread from the oven and preheat
the broiler. |
