Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup water
• 0.5 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon, but leave drippings; blot bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble when cool.

Step 2

Stir onion and salt into hot fat over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in water and Dijon mustard. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until water comes to a boil. Scrape the pan to dissolve brown bits in water. Add Brussels sprouts and vinegar. Cook, stirring often, until Brussels sprouts are tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Toss with bacon and Gorgonzola cheese crumbles to serve.
