Brussels sprout and bacon topped with melted cheese is the perfect side dish.

2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
2 red onions, finely chopped
1kg brussels sprouts, cut in half
2 garlic cloves, crushed
100g unsalted butter, roughly chopped
200g rindless smoked streaky bacon slices, cut into 3cm strips
1 cup (250ml) white wine
2 tbs finely chopped sage leaves
1 tbs baby capers, drained, finely chopped
190g aged cheddar, finely grated
1 cup (50g) panko breadcrumbs

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 220°C.
2.

Heat olive oil in a 24cm x 6cm deep flameproof and ovenproof dish over high heat. Add onion, brussels sprouts and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until garlic is softened. Scatter over the butter and bacon, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes until bacon starts to brown. Add wine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon and cook until reduced by half.
3.

Remove from the heat, season and stir in sage and capers. Scatter with cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Serve immediately.
