Brussels Sprouts
Cheese Mixture
- 5.2 ounces Boursin cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasoning & Finish
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Lawry’s)
- 1 tablespoon spicy honey
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Begin by trimming the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the bottom stem area of each sprout, then cut them in half. Set the halved sprouts aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Choose a 13×9 baking dish, preferably ceramic cast iron to prevent sticking. In a bowl, combine Boursin cheese and olive oil until smooth, then spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
- Arrange Brussels Sprouts in the Dish: Press each Brussels sprout half firmly into the cheese mixture. Arrange them either randomly or in neat rows based on preference. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and use a basting brush to evenly spread it over the sprouts. Sprinkle seasoned salt evenly over the Brussels sprouts for enhanced flavor.
- Bake and Finish: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 28-30 minutes until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly crispy. Remove from the oven and let rest undisturbed for 5-10 minutes. Immediately drizzle spicy honey over the hot Brussels sprouts to add a sweet and spicy finish. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Using a ceramic cast iron baking dish helps prevent sticking and ensures even baking.
- Be sure not to skip resting the dish after baking—it helps the flavors meld and the cheese mixture to set slightly.
- Adjust the amount of honey to taste if you prefer less or more sweetness.
- For extra crispiness, place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down when arranging them in the dish.
- Seasoned salt can be substituted with regular salt and a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder if desired.
