Pine Nuts: Add a lovely crunch! Feel free to omit nuts if you’re not a fan. Brussels Sprouts: Cut off the ends and remove any broken or damaged outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise so it cooks more evenly. Bacon: Use six slices of high-quality, thick-cut bacon. Heavy Cream: Half and half will work, but for a super rich, creamy sauce, I recommend heavy whipping cream. Parmesan Cheese: For the best flavor, try grating your own! Lemon Zest: Brightens the dish. Ground Black Pepper: This won’t give any heat but the perfect amount of savory flavor. Mozzarella Cheese: For extra flavorful, smooth mozzarella, skip the pre-shredded bags of cheese and grate your own instead. Salt: Brings all of the delicious flavors in your Brussels sprout casserole together.
How to Make Brussels Sprouts Casserole
These cheesy Brussels sprouts require only a few easy steps, and voila, a crowd-pleasing side dish is ready to devour! You are going to love all of its wonderful flavors and textures!
One-Pan Recipe: For fewer dishes, use an oven-safe skillet! Top with cheese and bake as directed. Add More Lemon: The lemon in this dish adds a nice brightness against the heaviness of the bacon, cream, and cheese. If you really love lemons, I recommend increasing the amount to 2 teaspoons. Different Cheese Option: Instead of parmesan and mozzarella, you may substitute for other flavorful, melty cheeses such as sharp white cheddar or gruyere. Make It Vegetarian: If you would like to make this dish vegetarian, simply omit the bacon and use 2 tablespoons of olive oil to sauté the Brussels sprouts instead of bacon fat.
