• Ingredients
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 lb. brussels sprouts, halved
  • White wine (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Dash cayenne
  • 1/4 tsp. mustard powder
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 2 slices cooked crisp bacon bits
  • 1/4 cup shredded Gruyere
  • 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In an oven-proof skillet melt butter and then stir-fry shallot and garlic until soft. Stir in brussels sprouts and stir around until coated with the butter-shallot-garlic mix. Cover and let sprouts steam over medium heat until tender, about ten minutes. Splash a bit of white wine (or other liquid) into the pan during that time if the sprouts start sticking or scorching. Season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and mustard powder. Stir in cream. Heat through. Remove from heat and sprinkle bacon bits and cheeses over the top. Place into a 375 degree F oven for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted. Serve.

NOTES: This is my new favorite brussels sprouts recipe. So delicious! I found the recipe at TopTeenRecipes. If you do not have an oven-proof skillet, feel free to cook the brussels sprouts and then place into a baking dish. Finish with the cream, bacon, and cheeses.
