Method

Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the thyme leaves (reserving 1 tbsp) and fry for 1 min until crispy.
Add the Brussels sprouts, stir through the thyme butter and fry for 6-7 mins until lightly golden and cooked, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water. Once bubbling, remove from the heat, add the pecorino (reserving a handful) and black pepper, tossing together for 2 mins until the cheese has melted.
Squeeze over the lemon. Transfer to a serving plate and top with the reserved pecorino and thyme leaves.
