Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 medium Shallots
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 quarter cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, removing any yellow or damaged leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until melted and shimmering.

Step 3

Add the Brussels sprouts, cut side down, to the skillet in an even layer. Cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown and caramelized.

Step 4

While the sprouts cook, finely dice the shallots and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

Flip the Brussels sprouts and stir in the diced shallots and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are softened and fragrant.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and lemon juice until smooth.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and pour the Dijon cream mixture over the Brussels sprouts. Stir gently to evenly coat the sprouts.

Step 8

Season the dish with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Let the sprouts simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 9

Before serving, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the dish and toss lightly to combine.

Step 10

Serve the Brussels Sprouts Dijon warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a meatless main course.
