- 10 Brussels sprouts
- 2 tsp kosher salt for boiling Brussel sprouts, Diamond Crystal brand

- 2-3 trings thyme

Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 tsp salt.
- Trim the bottom of Brussel sprouts, leaving the core intact, and cut in half.
- When the water boils, add the Brussel sprouts and cook uncovered for 6 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain in a colander and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until it gets crispy. Then remove the bacon to a plate, leaving the bacon oil in the pan.
- Heat the pan on medium-high heat. Add Brussel sprouts and thyme in the same pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Stir in the apple cider vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Put the bacon back in the pan to toss it all together and serve warm.
