Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Trim stem end of each Brussels sprout, trim away and blemished leaves, and cut in half. Set aside.
  • Cut bacon into small pieces. Melt butter in large saucepan and add bacon. Cook over medium heat for 7-8 minutes until crispy.
  • Add trimmed sprouts and saute for 4 minutes. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute.
  • Add the cream and scrape all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan (the fonde). Bring to a simmer and cook until cream is reduced and coats the sprouts, about 10-12 minutes. Add the mozzarella cheese and stir to melt. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Spray a 9" x 13" casserole dish with cooking spray and transfer the mixture. Sprinkle the top with blue cheese crumbles and breadcrumbs. Bake for 20 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
