Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil or cooking spray.
Rinse and trim the Brussels sprouts, removing any tough outer leaves. Cut larger sprouts in half to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in an even layer in the prepared baking dish and roast them in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
While the Brussels sprouts roast, prepare the cream sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, and 0.5 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
Once the Brussels sprouts have roasted, pour the cream sauce evenly over them. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining 0.25 cup of Parmesan cheese and melted butter. Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture over the Brussels sprouts.
Bake in the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on top.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or even as a delicious main course for a lighter meal.
