  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 toasts

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread (sourdough or whole grain)
  • 1 pink grapefruit, peeled and segmented
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 tbsp ricotta or cream cheese (optional)
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt

Optional Toppings

  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Crushed pistachios
  • Chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until they are golden brown and crisp, which usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes depending on your heat source.
  2. Spread Cheese: If using, evenly spread 1 tablespoon of ricotta or cream cheese on each toasted slice to add creaminess and a mild tangy flavor that complements the grapefruit.
  3. Arrange Grapefruit Segments: Carefully place the peeled and segmented pink grapefruit pieces evenly on top of the spread or directly on the toast if skipping cheese. Ensure that segments are arranged neatly for an elegant presentation.
  4. Drizzle Honey: Lightly drizzle 2 teaspoons of honey over the grapefruit segments to add natural sweetness and enhance the flavor contrast.
  5. Add Sea Salt: Sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt over the toast to balance the sweetness and enhance all flavors.
  6. Add Optional Toppings: If desired, garnish the toast with fresh mint leaves, crushed pistachios, or chia seeds for added texture, freshness, and nutrition.
  7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the pink grapefruit toast right away to experience the crisp toast texture and fresh flavors before the bread becomes soggy.

Notes

  • Use ruby red or pink grapefruit varieties for the best natural sweetness and vibrant color.
  • Consider supremely peeling the grapefruit by removing the membranes for a cleaner texture and easier eating experience.
  • Toast can be buttered as an alternative to ricotta or cream cheese to add richness.
  • This dish is best eaten immediately after assembly to prevent the toast from becoming soggy.
