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