Instructions
- Slice brussel sprouts in half from top to bottom (or quarters if large).
- Heat oil in a large 14" oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Season Brussel sprouts with ⅛ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Add to the skillet and cook 4-5 minutes or until tender-crisp and slightly browned. Add broth and simmer until evaporated, about 3 minutes.
- Move brussels to the side of the pan and add the butter and garlic, cook for 30 seconds. Add heavy cream and simmer 4-5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Remove from the heat and add ⅓ cup parmesan cheese and lemon zest. Stir to combine. Taste and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Turn the broiler on to high and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Broil 1-2 minutes or until golden.
- Garnish with parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- To make lemon zest, use a fine grater to grate just the yellow part of the skin of a fresh lemon. Try to avoid the white pith as it can be bitter.
- Cut the Brussels sprouts in half, or in quarters if they're large.
- Don't overcook the sprouts in the broth, they'll cook a bit more once the cream is added.
- Add the cheese once the heat is off, simmering the cheese can cause it to separate.
- If the sauce thickens too much, add a little bit of broth or cream to thin it.
- Season with salt & pepper after adding the cheese as the parmesan will add salt.
