Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F.
Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil in a large bowl. Lightly season with salt. Arrange Brussels sprouts in a single layer on two 15 x 10-inch baking pans. (Do not crowd.) Bake for 30-35 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally.
Meanwhile, fry bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings.
Add shallots to bacon drippings in the same pan; cook and stir over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until tender. Remove shallots with a slotted spoon; set aside.
Combine the Brussels sprouts, bacon and shallots in a large bowl. Add Dunbarton Blue®; lightly toss. Season with pepper to taste.

Cheesemonger Tip

Dunbarton Blue® is a cellar-cured cheese with the earthy flavor notes of an upscale, English-style cheddar laced with hints of blue cheese. It's aged for at least 90 days in the open air, which creates a natural rind on cheese.
