Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Gorgonzola
Ingredients
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, or to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by carefully placing the bacon in a substantial, deep frying pan over high heat, stirring occasionally until it's uniformly browned, approximately 10 minutes. Set the bacon aside, but retain its rich juices; use a paper towel-lined plate to gently pat the slices dry. Allow it to cool before crumbling.

Next, heat a small amount of oil in the same pan over medium heat and sauté the onion along with salt until it's softened, taking around 5 minutes. Gradually pour in water and Dijon mustard into the pan; stir constantly over high heat until a boil erupts. Scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned residue, which will help create a more flavorful sauce. Add the Brussels sprouts and vinegar to the pan; stir frequently until they're tender, roughly 4-6 minutes. Combine the cooked sprouts with the crispy bacon and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese to serve.
