How to Make Creamy Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook until onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1.5 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves.
  5. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to brown slightly.
  6. Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  7. Reduce heat and simmer for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the broth has evaporated.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg.
  9. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
  10. Transfer the Brussels sprout mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  11. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese over the top.
  13. Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and the cheese is golden brown.
