- 1 1/2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar (sub champagne vinegar)
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 2 tsp. mustard powder (ground mustard seed)
- 3/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 lb. Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup finely grated aged sharp white cheddar cheese (about 1 oz.)
- 2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves

Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until Brussels are crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 more minutes.

- Transfer Brussels to a serving dish and scatter cheese overtop, allowing residual heat to slightly melt cheese. Garnish with pumpkin seeds.
