Ingredients

1 lb Brussels sprouts
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil ~ or about 2 tbsp or more of bacon drippings, instead of butter and oil
1 tbsp good quality Dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey ~ I really do just eyeball the amounts of mustard and honey
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper

Instructions

Over medium high heat, melt butter and olive oil in large nonstick pan.
Add brussels sprouts, toss to mix and add a sprinkle of kosher salt. Cook and stir until brown and crisp-tender
Stir in mustard and honey until well combined and caramelized, a minute or two. Season with salt and pepper. Enjoy.

Notes

Look for smaller Brussels sprouts that are hard and compact.
Keep any of the good outer leaves that fall off and toss in the pan, too. They make the best crispy bits!
Try bacon drippings instead of butter and olive oil. Bacon and Brussels sprouts are a match made in heaven.
