Recipe Box, 1 Recipe 4 Different Ways
This is a recipe that can be used as an appetizer or a side dish~
It only has 3 ingredients
AND
you can change the ingredients to make a different combo!
I made it with roasted Brussels Sprouts, blue cheese and bacon
For an appetizer serve it on a small skewer, like a mini kebab,
and you will have delightful bites
Or, serve it as a side dish
it would be wonderful with steak or chicken
If you don’t like Brussels sprouts, make it with roasted broccoli
You can roast it plain or with Parmesan and then skewer it with bacon
or skewer it with bacon and a piece of cheddar cheese
or serve it as a side dish
To make it with Brussels Sprouts,
first trim the sprouts and cut them in half
Put them on a parchment lined pan, drizzle with olive oil
and season with salt and pepper
Roast the sprouts in a 400 degree F oven for about 25 minutes
or until they are done and begin to char
Transfer the roasted sprouts to a casserole dish
Add cheese
Cover the dish and put the dish back in the oven
for several minutes to melt the cheese
Add bacon and stir
Put it on skewers for appetizers,
or provide skewers and let people skewer their own
OR
serve it with a large spoon for a side dish
Use this same method if you want to make it with broccoli and cheddar
Cut the broccoli into small florets and roast them
with olive oil, salt and pepper just like the Brussels sprouts
Skewer the roasted broccoli with bacon and a small piece of cheddar
OR
Put the broccoli in a dish with grated cheddar,
return to oven to melt the cheese then add bacon and stir

Notes
There are really endless possibilities with this recipe,
as I was writing this I kept thinking of other combos
that would be good too~
you could use a different meat like ham or prosciutto…
OR
how about a crispy chicken nugget?
