Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 small onion, julienned
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 small Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped
  • 1 recipe Basic Brussels Sprouts, recipe follows
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon whole-grain Dijon mustard
  • 1-ounce blue cheese, crumbled
  • Pinch freshly ground nutmeg

Directions

Place the bacon into a 10-inch straight-sided saute pan and set over medium-high heat. Cook bacon until crisp and brown. Remove bacon and all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pan using a slotted spoon. Decrease the heat to low. Add the onion and cook just until they turn semi-translucent, approximately 3 minutes. Add the salt and apple and continue to cook for another minute. Add the Brussels sprouts, heavy cream and mustard and cook just until the Brussels sprouts are heated through, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the bacon, blue cheese and nutmeg. Serve immediately.

Basic Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Cut off the stem end of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellowing outer leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half from top to bottom. Place the Brussels sprouts, water and salt into a 3 to 4-quart saucier and cover. Place over high heat and cook for 5 minutes or until tender. Remove and serve immediately.

    I thought this tasted wonderful! Definitely a recipe I will use over and over. I had an abundance of Granny Smith apples and was ISO of recipes that I could make to help use them up! Thank you!

    I thought they were delicious. My husband didn't care for the apples, but I liked them. This was a trial run in preparation for Christmas prime rib (we will be using Alton Brown's recipe for the prime rib as well. I liked cooking the sprouts first, I did quarter them instead of just cutting them in half. And it is true- the fats in the dish negate the bitter flavor that the sprouts have. Over all, it was great, then again Alton has never let me down before. I only give it 4 stars because the hubby didn't like the apple chunks.

    Never had brussels sprouts growing up as a kid, guess my parents didn't enjoy them. So I was brave and had them for the first time in my life using this recipe. Loved them! Will be making these over and over and over again! Thanks AB for another winner.
