Method
Preparation
Prep the Brussels Sprouts
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellowed outer leaves. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise.
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon slices. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Leave the bacon fat in the skillet.
Cooking
Add Balsamic Vinegar
Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, pour the balsamic vinegar over them and stir well. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the vinegar to caramelize slightly.
Combine with Bacon and Parmesan
Crumble the cooked bacon into the Brussels sprouts and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Toss everything together until well combined, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
Serving
Serve Hot
Transfer the Brussels and bacon mixture to a serving dish. Optionally, sprinkle more Parmesan and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar on top before serving. Enjoy!
