RECIPE

As much as you like – bacon, cut into chunks

2 tablespoons butter

1 – 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, washed, (trim bottoms and cut sprouts in half)

Salt and pepper to taste

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 1/2 – 2 cups heavy cream

1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup water (totally optional, I eliminated this step).

A couple of handfuls of grated mozzarella, saving 1/2 for the top

One handful grated cheddar cheese, saving 1/2 for the top

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Fry the bacon in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until lightly browned adding garlic.

In the same pan, melt the butter, add the Brussels sprouts and season with salt and pepper. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and cook while stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes.
