\nPrepare the Brussels Sprouts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Start by washing the Brussels sprouts and trimming the ends. Remove any damaged or yellow outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise to ensure they cook evenly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Cook the Bacon:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the bacon onto a paper-towel-lined plate, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Saut\u00e9 the Brussels Sprouts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n- In the same skillet with the retained bacon grease, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Heat over medium-high heat.<\/li>\n
- Add the Brussels sprouts cut side down in a single layer. Let them sear undisturbed for about 3-5 minutes or until they develop a golden-brown crust.<\/li>\n
- Flip the sprouts and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes until they are tender yet retain some crunch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
Add Garlic and Season:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the Brussels sprouts and saut\u00e9 for an additional minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!<\/li>\n
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that the bacon and Parmesan cheese will add saltiness, so adjust accordingly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Make the Creamy Sauce:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Lower the heat to medium and pour the heavy cream over the Brussels sprouts, gently stirring to coat them evenly.<\/li>\n
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and mix until the cheese has melted, and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 3-4 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Incorporate Bacon and Add Finishing Touches:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n- Return the crispy bacon to the skillet, stirring it into the creamy Brussels sprouts.<\/li>\n
- For an added layer of flavor, incorporate a teaspoon of lemon zest at this stage, if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Serve and Garnish:<\/strong>\n
\n- Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
