In the mood for grapefruit today? Turn on your toaster oven.
I got this recipe from the really cool book Munchies by Kevin Telles Roberts. He suggests you try it as a snack at 1:30 in the morning, but I don't see any reason why you can't have it as an ordinary breakfast treat.
Set your toaster oven to 450 degrees. Cut and section a grapefruit. Put a pat of butter in the center of each half and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and sugar. Bake for about 10 minutes, until cinnamon/sugar is melted.
We've all had grapefruit sprinkled with sugar, of course, but I wonder how the baking changes the taste. I've been wanting to eat more grapefruit anyway, so I'm going to try it this Sunday morning.

Pop it in the microwave for a few seconds and you have a lovely breakfast. Cutting the membranes first helps get the honey all around the fruit and also makes it easier to scoop out once the fruit is softened by the heat.
