Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any loose or yellow outer leaves. Cut larger sprouts in half, keeping smaller ones whole for even cooking.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown on the edges.
Push the sprouts to one side of the skillet and lower the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic to the cleared side of the pan. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine the garlic, butter, and cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, allowing the cream to thicken slightly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cheese has melted and the sauce is thick and creamy.
Mix the Brussels sprouts evenly into the cream sauce, ensuring they are well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately as a side dish, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
