Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Egg Crumbles
Brussels sprouts are charming mini-cabbages that sweeten in flavor after a frost, making fall and winter the ideal time to serve them. The crusty topping works equally well on cauliflower or green beans.
Servings: 8
Ingredients:
2 pounds Brussels sprouts, root-ends trimmed off
6 strips Organic Prairie Hardwood Smoked Bacon, chopped into 1/4-inch-wide pieces
6 tablespoons dried bread crumbs
2 hard-cooked Organic Valley Eggs, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Organic Valley Butter
Instructions:
Cut Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise and blanch in boiling water until barely tender, 4-6 minutes. Drain, immerse sprouts in ice water to cool them quickly, and drain again. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a heavy skillet until crispy. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of fat from pan. Stir bread crumbs into the bacon and remaining fat in the pan and cook about 1 minute. Turn mixture into a bowl and stir in chopped eggs. Wipe out skillet.
Just before serving, place skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. When butter foam subsides, add the Brussels sprouts and cook, tossing often, until heated through. Transfer to shallow serving dish, sprinkle with bacon-egg mixture, and serve. Makes 8 servings.
