Creamy Brussels Sprouts with Cream Cheese & Mustard Sauce

Instructions:

1. Prep the Brussels Sprouts
   • Trim the stems and halve (or quarter) the sprouts for even cooking.
2. Sear the Sprouts
   • Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender with crispy edges.
3. Add Garlic
   • Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (avoid burning).
4. Make the Creamy Mustard Sauce
   • In a bowl, whisk together cream cheese, Dijon mustard, broth, and heavy cream until smooth.
5. Combine & Simmer
   • Pour the sauce over the sprouts, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for 2–3 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Season & Garnish
   • Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Top with fresh parsley and bacon (if using).
7. Serve Warm
   • Enjoy as a decadent side with roasted meats, fish, or vegetarian mains.
