Brussel Sprouts with Bacon and Cognac

Brussel Sprouts with Bacon and Cognac

We received cognac last Christmas as a gift. Today I was thinking of ways to use the last of the bottle so I can make room in my pantry for cookie stuff.

I had brussel sprouts that need to be cooked off, so I chopped some garlic, halved the sprouts, poured about a teaspoon of olive oil in a non stick saute pan and microwaved some bacon. When the sprouts started to get golden, I flipped them over and poured a half an ounce of the cognac and half a teaspoon of unsalted butter. I plated the sprouts and topped with bacon.
