After being at my in-laws for a week during Thanksgiving I was re-inspired to get back into the kitchen and cook for my family. Since having Asher cooking has seemed like drudgery but after seeing this recipe I had to try my hand at Brussels sprouts!
Now I don't have any pictures of this recipe because I ate it too quickly, and for never having a Brussels sprout before I thought these were awesome! I was happy to find that Bittman has many recipes for sprouts in HTCE and one of them is very similar to Tyler's example above. As a matter of fact Bittman left off the one thing we didn't really like about Tyler's recipe - the soggy breadcrumb topping.
I will say that if I make this recipe again I will combine Bittman's recipe and Tyler's by only cutting the sprouts in half (way quicker) and browning them in the pan with the bacon before adding the water (or if you have it, stock). If my oven happens to be on, I will still add the Parmesan cheese though because it was nice and crunchy and added a nice texture contrast.
