How to Make Baked Feta And Bacon Brussels Sprouts

1. Trim the ends off 1 pound of Brussels sprouts and halve or quarter them if large.
2. Parboil Brussels sprouts in salted boiling water for 5 minutes until slightly tender.
3. Drain the Brussels sprouts and cool slightly.
4. Gently hollow out the core of each Brussels sprout to create a small space for the cheese, being careful not to break them apart.
5. Drain upside down on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess moisture.
6. Fill each hollowed sprout with approximately 1/2 teaspoon of crumbled feta cheese (or blue cheese).
7. Trim 4-6 slices of bacon, removing most of the fat, leaving mostly lean meat. Cut each slice in half or thirds as needed.
8. Wrap a piece of bacon around each stuffed Brussels sprout, securing with a toothpick.
9. Arrange the wrapped sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
10. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sprouts are tender.
11. Remove from oven and sprinkle generously with coarse sea salt immediately.
