Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, blot, and crumble when cool. Leave bacon drippings in the skillet.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium and add onion and salt. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add water and mustard. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until water comes to a boil. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen brown bits.

Step 3

Add Brussels sprouts and vinegar to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until Brussels sprouts are tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Toss with bacon and Gorgonzola to serve.
