Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim the stems and remove any damaged outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Slice them in half lengthwise for even cooking.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, placing them cut-side down. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until they develop a golden-brown sear, stirring occasionally.
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to coat the Brussels sprouts evenly.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Let the sauce simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until it thickens and coats the Brussels sprouts.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot as a side dish or light main course.
