Ingredients

• 1 lb Brussels sprouts
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.33 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded smoked Gouda cheese
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Butter, melted
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.

Step 2

Trim the stems and any loose leaves from the Brussels sprouts, then cut them in half (or quarters if they are large). Rinse them and pat dry.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange the seasoned Brussels sprouts in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Drizzle the heavy cream evenly over the Brussels sprouts.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan and smoked Gouda cheeses over the top, ensuring they cover the Brussels sprouts evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the cheese layer.

Step 8

Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a main course. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
