Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the stems and remove any damaged outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Slice them in half lengthwise for even cooking.

Step 2

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, placing them cut-side down. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until they develop a golden-brown sear, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to coat the Brussels sprouts evenly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

Step 7

Let the sauce simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until it thickens and coats the Brussels sprouts.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot as a side dish or light main course.
