Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pound (685g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2-3 tablespoons (30-40g) unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced (3-4 cloves)
- 2 teaspoons flour
- ½ medium onion
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (or Creole seasoning)
- 1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½-¾ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated and divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Once hot, add a tablespoon of butter and then the Brussels sprouts. Season with salt.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes until brown, turning once. Sprinkle Italian or Creole seasoning over them, and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Add the remaining butter, onions, and garlic to the same skillet. Saute for 1-2 minutes until onion wilts.
- Stir in the flour, followed by the broth and cream. Bring to a boil and simmer until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat, add about ½ of the parmesan cheese, and stir until the cheese completely melts.
- Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and extra seasonings if desired.
- Scatter the Brussels sprouts evenly into the sauce if there's room. Top with the remaining cheese.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until bubbling.
- Remove and serve warm.
Notes
If using frozen Brussels sprouts, add them while frozen. Roasting beforehand adds a delicious smoky flavor. Squeeze a little lemon juice before serving for extra zing.
