Directions

Finely chop the bacon and fry it in a pan over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside in a bowl.
-
Trim and cut the Brussels sprouts into halves or quarters (depending on size). In the same pan, melt the butter and add the Brussels sprouts. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Sauté the sprouts for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the minced garlic and pour in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (180°C). Transfer the Brussels sprouts and cream mixture to a baking dish. Top with the crispy bacon, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
