Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 4 strips bacon, chopped

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise

  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped

  • 1/2 cup half-and-half

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese, divided

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Add bacon to an ovenproof skillet over medium heat, and cook until crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel to drain, leaving bacon grease in skillet.

  3. Place the sprouts cut side down in the skillet, and cook for about 4 minutes over medium heat, being careful not to burn. Flip when the sprouts start to brown. Add shallots to the sprouts, and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet, and wipe the skillet clean.

  4. Whisk half-and-half and Dijon in the skillet, and stir in Parmesan, half of the Cheddar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the sprouts back to the skillet, stirring gently. Evenly scatter the remaining Cheddar over the sprouts.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until starting to bubble and turn golden brown, checking sprouts for tenderness with the tip of a knife, 12 to 15 minutes. If mixture looks a little dry, drizzle in a little bit of half-and-half for moisture.

  6. Remove skillet from oven, top with bacon, and serve,

    Cook’s Note

    This may be cooked in a non-ovenproof skillet, transferring the sprouts to a baking dish, and then into the oven.
