- 7Cook the Brussels sprouts for about 20 minutes, or until desired doneness, leaving them uncovered for the last half of cooking.

Tips
- Start bacon in a cold pan to render fat evenly and prevent scorching.
- Cut the ends off Brussels sprouts; cut most in half, bigger ones in quarters.
- If the pan gets too dry or Brussels sprouts are darkening too quickly, add a splash of water and cover them.
- No additional seasonings are usually needed due to the salty bacon and herbed cheese.
- Cook Brussels sprouts uncovered for the last half of cooking.
- Pull Boursin cheese out of the fridge ahead of time so it's not too cold.
