- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: A sprinkle of chili flakes for a bit of heat
Instructions
- Prepare the Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure they are evenly coated.
- Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
- Sauté the Sprouts: In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the Brussels sprouts cut side down. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and tender.
- Combine Ingredients: Once the sprouts are cooked, add the crispy bacon back into the skillet. Mix well to combine.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated cheese over the sprouts and bacon. Cover the skillet with a lid for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
- Serve: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove from heat. Serve warm, garnished with optional chili flakes for extra flavor.
