Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut them in half lengthwise.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Brussels Sprouts

    In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the trimmed Brussels sprouts. If needed, add olive oil to ensure they are well-coated. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and tender.

  2. 4

    Season the Brussels Sprouts

    Add salt and black pepper to the sautéed Brussels sprouts and stir well to combine.

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the crumbled bacon and balsamic vinegar to the cooked Brussels sprouts. Stir gently until everything is well mixed.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm.
