1

Score an X in the core end of each Brussels sprout. Set the sprouts aside.
2

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes; drain it and let cool on paper towels. Crumble.
3

Heat 1 teaspoon butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the garlic until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat. Stir in the broth, salt, and black pepper; cover and cook until the Brussels sprouts are tender, 12 to 14 minutes. Drain the liquid from the pan.
4

Stir the remaining 2 teaspoons butter into the Brussels sprouts mixture until melted. Mix in the bacon and serve.
