Ingredients

  • 4 slices — bacon

  • 1 small — red onion, thinly sliced

  • ¼ teaspoon — salt

  • ¾ cup — water

  • 1 teaspoon — Dijon mustard

  • 1 pound — Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon — cider vinegar

  • ½ cup — crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, or to taste

Directions

  • 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.
  • 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.
