4. 4. Cook the Brussels Sprouts about 5 minutes until just tender and the broth has cooked off. Add the onions back in and toss together. Season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper.
5. 5. Transfer to a serving dish. Crumble the bacon over the sprouts. Add the chunks of avocado.
6. 6. Mix together the olive oil and the balsamic vinegar and drizzle over the top of the dish. Serve warm.
