Cheese and Bacon Brussels Sprouts
From: Aarn Farmer @ mysugarfreejourney.com/
I have a long and complicated history with Brussels Sprouts. Whenever they were on the table growing up, I couldn’t stand them.
Once I was an adult, I NEVER made those little cabbage heads of doom. Of course, I almost never ate real food either so it’s not like I was making a conscious decision to avoid them. But then I got married and realized Dian LOVES them. Like, eat-them-every-night loves them. I usually just pan fried a few for her and made something else for me but after I cut out the sugar and my taste preferences began to change, I started really enjoying them. (A fact that still kind of shocks me)
So over the years I’ve come up with a few different ways to cook them but last night I wanted something a little different. I wanted something a little creamy, and cheesy, and with lots of bacon. You really can’t go wrong with that.
This is a delicious way to bake Brussels Sprouts.
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 25 mins
Total time: 35 mins
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
10-15 Brussels Sprouts
⅛ cup heavy whipping cream
2 slices of bacon
¼ cup of Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Cut Brussels in half length-wise and place cut-side down in small pan. (I use a pie pan)
Pour in cream and season with salt and pepper.
Cut bacon into small squares and cover sprouts.
Cover with both cheeses.
Bake on 350° for 25 minutes until sprouts are fork-tender.
