How to Make Bodacious Brussels

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 1-quart baking dish.
  3. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1/2 cup of chopped yellow onion. Sauté for 3 minutes, until softened.
  4. Add 1 pound of trimmed Brussels sprouts, halved or quartered if large, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 4 minutes, or until the broth is nearly evaporated.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg. Cook for 4 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
  7. Transfer the Brussels sprout mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup of shredded Gruyère cheese (or your favorite cheese). Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Gruyère cheese over the top.
  10. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
