Brussel Sprout Sliders
This is a great way to get extra vegetables into any barbecue! The Brussel sprouts make fun mini buns and so many will be delighted to try this bite. If you do not have a barbecue, you can easily make these under the broiler.
Medium Brussel sprouts, trimmed 12
Olive oil 1 tsp.
Cooking oil 1 tsp.
Pork Tocino 12
Cut into 1 ¼ -inch pieces
Mozzarella cheese 12
Cut into 1-inch pieces, ¼ inch thick
Cherry tomatoes 6
Cut in half
Balsamic vinegar ¼ cup
4 – 5 inch toothpicks 12
soaked in water for 15 minutes
Toss the olive oil and Brussel sprouts together. Place om a prepared baking sheet and roast in a 375ºF oven until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool until easy to handle. Cut in half.
While the Brussel sprouts are roasting, heat the cooking oil in a medium pan on medium. Add the tocino pieces and cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the pieces from the pan and set aside.
To assemble the sliders, place a top half of a Brussel sprout onto the skewer. Next add a piece of mozzarella, followed by a Tocino piece, then half a cherry tomato, and the bottom half of the Brussel sprout, onto the skewer.
Heat the barbecue to about 350ºF. Place the skewers on a prepared grill and grill for about 3 minutes, flipping over once half way through or until the cheese is softened. Remove from the grill onto a plate and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
