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.
