Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter * divided
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts * trimmed and cut in half
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese * grated
  • 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese * shredded, divided

Instructions

  • Grease a medium size casserole dish using a small amount of butter or cooking spray and preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • Heat the 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  • Add the heavy cream and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in all of the Parmesan cheese and half of the Greyere cheese.
  • Pour the cheese sauce over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat.
