Ingredients
-
4 ounces bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
¼ cup dry vermouth (see Tip)
-
¼ cup heavy cream
-
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
-
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, 6 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
-
Add oil and Brussels sprouts to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned and tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add vermouth and cook until mostly reduced, about 1 minute. Stir in cream and salt and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the bacon.
Tip
Vermouth is an herb-infused fortified wine. Sweet versions contain 10 to 15% sugar, while extra-dry ones contain less than 4%. Dry is typically used in savory dishes, while sweet is used for desserts—both are common components of cocktails. Refrigerate in an airtight container to reduce oxidation.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
