Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and halve them lengthwise.
In a large oven-safe skillet, cook the thick-cut bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
Add the butter to the skillet with the bacon grease and melt it over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts start to develop a golden-brown sear.
Crumble the cooked bacon and sprinkle it over the Brussels sprouts.
Pour the heavy cream over the Brussels sprouts and bacon, then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
Top the entire skillet with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve immediately and enjoy this rich, indulgent dish!
