One Pan Sage & Savory Baby Brussels with Figs, Pecans + Sharp Cheddar

Serves 2
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1.5 cups baby brussels sprouts
3-4 thin-skinned figs
1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
3-4 sprigs or leaves of fresh sage
shredded sharp cheddar
salt & pepper to taste
balsamic

Heat olive oil and butter until browned but not smoking.
Clean brussels sprouts then cut stems and remove outer leaves. Toss in pan to coat.
After 2-3 minutes, add torn sage and pecans.
Wash then cut the figs into 1/8 pieces. Once the sprouts start to crisp (6-8 minutes), place figs flesh side down to caramelize.
