Main Ingredients- Mini Brussels sprouts, as needed
- Bacon strips (adjust quantity based on Brussels sprout size)
Seasoning & Others- Salt, 0.5 Tbsp
- Grated Parmesan cheese, a pinch
- Salt, 0.5 Tbsp
- Grated Parmesan cheese, a pinch
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the mini Brussels sprouts. Trim any tough outer leaves and wash them thoroughly. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add 0.5 Tbsp of salt, and carefully blanch the Brussels sprouts for about 3 to 5 minutes until they are slightly tender but still retain a bit of crispness. Avoid overcooking to maintain their texture.
Step 2
Once blanched, drain the Brussels sprouts and let them cool slightly. Then, cut each sprout in half lengthwise. This makes them easier to wrap with bacon.
Step 3
Take your bacon strips. For most mini Brussels sprouts, you’ll find that cutting a standard bacon strip in half works perfectly. Wrap each half-strip of bacon snugly around a Brussels sprout half. Adjust the bacon size if your sprouts are particularly large or small.
Step 4
To cook, place the bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts in a preheated pan, ensuring the seam where the bacon ends meet is facing downwards. This helps prevent the bacon from unraveling during cooking. Pan-fry until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, and the Brussels sprouts are tender. Once cooked, sprinkle with a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of savory flavor. Serve immediately while warm and delicious!
