Brussels sprouts often divide opinions, but this recipe is sure to win over even the staunchest Brussels sprout skeptics. Crispy Brussels sprouts paired with a creamy gruyere cheese sauce and salty bacon create a flavor explosion that’s hard to resist.
Despite its impressive taste, this dish is surprisingly simple to make. With just a few basic ingredients and an oven-safe skillet, you can whip up this crowd-pleaser in no time.
Here’s what you’ll need:
1. Brussels Sprouts: Opt for medium to small-sized sprouts for the best texture. If you can only find large ones, quarter them instead of halving to ensure a crispy exterior and tender interior.
2. Bacon: Use your favorite variety, and for extra flavor, consider using pepper bacon.
3. Heavy Cream: This forms the base of the creamy sauce, so it’s best not to substitute it with another liquid.
4. Cheese: A combination of parmesan and gruyere cheese creates an unbeatable flavor. If you can’t find gruyere, Swiss cheese makes a good substitute.
5. Garlic: Flavorful minced garlic adds depth to the dish and complements the other ingredients perfectly.
