every day i'm brusseling
20 minutes and one pan away to the crispy, delectable brussels sprouts of your dreams.
ingredients
brussels sprouts (about 10-15), based cut off and halved
1 shallot, diced
bacon, cut into small pieces and cooked
1 lime, cut in half
EVOO
S + P
crushed red pepper
3 T balsamic vinegar
recipe
Cook bacon pieces to desired doneness and set aside.
Heat shallow pan with EVOO and diced shallots on medium-high heat.
Prep brussel sprouts and place face down in heated pan.
Sprinkle with S + P and crush red pepper.
Pan sear brussels approximately 7-8 min each side until crispy.
Add splash of lime juice from lime and about 3 T balsamic vinegar to pan.
You don’t want to soak the brussels, just enough to add some flavor. continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until some of the juice cooks off.
Add bacon, stir, and serve.
PRO TIP: I like to make sure there a few stray brussels leaves in the pan when cooking because those will get nice a crispy and they add extra flavor to the dish.
PRO TIP: Feeling fancy? Crack an egg in the center of the pan once brussels are completely cooked and serve dish with a nice runny sunny side-up egg.
