Ingredients

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil plus more, for greasing a baking sheet
2 cloves garlic minced
kosher salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 pounds Brussels sprouts halved
4 slices bacon diced
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons parmesan grated
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly oil a baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk the balsamic vinegar, the honey, the olive oil, the garlic, the salt, and the pepper together.
Place the sprouts and the bacon in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with the balsamic vinegar mixture, and stir to combine.
Bake the sprout mixture until the sprouts are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Transfer the pan from the oven, use a spatula to carefully create four wells in the sprout mixture, and gently crack the eggs into the wells.
Sprinkle the eggs with the parmesan, the red pepper flakes, the salt, and the pepper.
Bake the casserole until the eggs have set, about 7-9 minutes.
Serve the bake garnished with the chives.
