Sautéed Brussel Sprouts with Cheese

a3

Can a brussel sprout actually taste good? I was asked this question recently by a confirmed veggie hater. Yes, I told her, absolutely they can, if covered in cheese! (Ok, I know that cheese makes everything taste better, but stay with me here…)

If you also hate veggies, or have kids that hate veggies, I can almost guarantee they’ll eat this recipe without too many complaints. It’s great for a weeknight meal because it uses few ingredients and cooks in a flash. I love to serve it with tilapia and mashed potatoes.

I make mine with fresh sprouts, but frozen is always an option. Be flexible with whatever you have on hand.

To cook Sautéed Brussel Sprouts with Cheese, you will need:

*  1 lb Fresh sprouts, washed and halved

*  2 TBS. Olive Oil

*  1/3 Cup water

*  Salt/Pepper to taste

*  1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts and salt/pepper. Cook, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently.  Add water and cook until evaporated, about 3 minutes. Sprouts should now be crisp-tender, and the cheese should be added. When cheese is melted, remove to plate and serve immediately.

Tasty, healthy, good!

    I love brussel sprouts. Kiddo enjoys them, hubs hates them. I love making them with a little butter and garlic. I haven’t put cheese on them, ever. Odd since I love cheese.

    I have always wondered how you can cook Brussels sprouts, thanks for this. My neighbor always grow so many of these and they would often offer us some but I don’t get it because I don’t know how to prepare them. My first time eating it doesn’t help either because I had it once at a restaurant and it was bitter.

    Well that’s a new way to try brussel sprouts. I haven’t had them since I was a kid and my mom made me eat them. I bet I”d like them way better now.
