Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Clean and trim your fresh Brussels sprouts, ensuring any damaged outer leaves are removed. Slice larger sprouts in half.
  3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Toss in the Brussels sprouts, cooking for approximately 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and sprinkle in nutmeg, stirring into the Brussels sprouts. Allow to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the cream thickens slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and sprinkle the cheeses evenly over the Brussels sprouts. Stir to ensure every sprout is coated.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
