enbrookshireLeave a comment

Our family had a late night last night, so we opted to sleep in and make a late Sunday Brunch this morning. Nothing hits the spot more than fresh eggs, bacon, Parmesan cheese and brussels sprouts on a lazy Sunday morning! I made my Brussels Sprouts with Crispy Bacon and Sunny Side Up Eggs which always seems to be a crowd pleaser at our house. This recipe is easy to make, easy to clean up, rich, and will leave you feeling full and satisfied all day!

Fresh eggs, bacon, brussels sprouts and a touch of Parmesan cheese is all you need to make this delicious brunch.

My husband is a huge fan of brussels sprouts and he likes them with a dash of salt and pepper, garlic and onion powered and a small drizzle of olive oil. I always cut the brussels down into quarters for the larger one and half size for the smaller ones. I like to cook brussels in the air fryer for a fast and crispy result. I also cook my bacon ahead of time to allow it time to cool and be chopped into fresh bacon pieces. I usually cook my bacon in the oven at 350 degrees F on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper for about 10 minutes or until done. Cooking the bacon on parchment paper makes for a stress free and easy clean up!

Prepping the Brussels sprouts.

It’s also important to get the eggs out of the fridge early, so they come up to room temperature before frying them. I use a pat of butter and I make sure that my pan is nice and hot when the eggs go in to ensure they cook evenly and that the yolk will be perfectly runny. I finish my sunny side up eggs in the oven to get all of the egg whites cooked through. This recipe is easy, delicious and rich! I hope you enjoy it!
