Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 4 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming the ends, removing any discolored outer leaves, and slicing them in half lengthwise.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until they're crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Remove most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. Add the olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to get a nice golden sear. Stir and continue cooking for an additional 5-6 minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the Brussels sprouts cook, prepare the horseradish cream. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream, horseradish, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder. Stir constantly for 3-4 minutes until warmed through and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Transfer the seared Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top.
Drizzle the warm horseradish cream over the Brussels sprouts and bacon. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
