Ingredients

  • 1 pound garden fresh brussel sprouts not frozen
  • 4 pieces bacon strips
  • 1-2 Tablespoon Bacon drippings
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup each Grana Padano, Parmesan, and Gruyere Cheese freshly grated

Instructions

  1. Cook bacon on stovetop on medium heat until crispy. Here I used my cast iron pan. And to keep the bacon from curling I like using a press like this bacon press.

  2. Once bacon is crispy remove from pan and blot with paper towel to remove excess grease. Set aside and reserve about 1-2 Tablespoons of bacon drippings for adding flavor later.

  3. Place sprouts in a colander and rinse under cool water. Shake off excess water. Cut bottoms off sprouts and cut the sprout in thirds.

  4. In a large skillet melt butter and add bacon drippings. Add brussel sprouts, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly cracked pepper and cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally to coat all sprouts with butter and bacon drippings.

  5. As you cook the brussel sprouts their true colors will begin to show and turn a beautiful deep green!

  6. Add garlic to pan and cook for about 2 minutes. Take care to not burn garlic.

  7. Whisk together heavy whipping cream and flour and add to pan. Turn heat down and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until brussel sprouts are tender.

  8. Add cheeses to pad and stir constantly until cheese has melted. Serve immediately.

  9. Enjoy!
