Instructions
Chop the bacon, slice the shallots, and half the Brussels Sprouts.
Add the bacon to a frying pan and put the heat on medium.
Cook the bacon for 10 minutes or until it is crispy, and the fat has rendered off.
Remove the bacon from the pan using a slotted spoon; leave the grease in the pan.
Add the shallots and Brussels sprouts to the pan with the bacon grease. Add the kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper.
Cook for 5 minutes, or until the shallots begin to caramelize.
Place the sprouts cut side down in the pan.
Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan and place the lid on the pan.
Let the Brussels sprouts steam until the water is evaporated.
Repeat the steaming process with another 1/2 cup water.
The sprouts should be tender, but golden and crispy on the cut side at this point.
Combine the honey mustard and the maple syrup together in a small bowl.
Plate the sprouts, top with the glaze, and sprinkle the cooked bacon bits on top.
