5. Reduce the heat to low.
6. Add 1 pound of prepared Brussels sprouts (ends cut, most cut in half, larger ones quartered) to the pan with bacon fat.
7. Cook the Brussels sprouts for about 20 minutes, or until desired doneness, leaving them uncovered for the last half of cooking.
8. Add Boursin cheese to the pan and let it melt into the Brussels sprouts.

## Equipment

- pan
- paper towel lined plate

## 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.
