Ingredients

For the Brussels Sprouts

1 pound Brussels Sprouts Fresh sprouts provide the best flavor and texture
2 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic adds an aromatic kick

For the Sauce

2 tablespoons Butter Enriches the sauce; olive oil can be a great dairy-free alternative
1 cup Heavy Cream Creates the luxurious creamy base; half-and-half can lighten it up

For the Cheesy Goodness

1 cup Cheddar Cheese Adds sharpness and depth; swap for Gruyère for a different twist
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Freshly grated for optimal melting
1/2 cup Fontina Cheese Offers a creamy texture; mozzarella can be a milder substitute

For the Seasoning

1 pinch Nutmeg Just a pinch enhances warmth; feel free to omit if you’re not a fan

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare Brussels sprouts by trimming and slicing them in half, then toss with melted butter and minced garlic.
Arrange the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a cast-iron skillet and roast for about 15 minutes until golden and tender.
Remove from oven, pour heavy cream over sprouts, and top with a mix of cheddar, fontina, and parmesan cheese.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley or thyme before serving.
