- Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
- 1-1/4 cup stock chicken, or vegetable stock
- 8 oz cream cheese room temp

Instructions
- Trim the base and remove any yellow or damaged leaves of Brussels sprouts.

- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and heat until shimmering. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Stir in Brussels sprouts, salt, and pepper. Cook without stirring too much, until sprouts turn golden brown in spots, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside on a plate.
- Into the same pan pour in the broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add in the cream cheese; simmer for 3-4 minutes, whisking constantly until creamy and thickened.
