I should’ve doubled this recipe for ritzy Brussels sprouts when I made it. These tasty little bites didn’t last long at all. Normally, I just roast Brussels sprouts, but this version is so cheesy good. The crackers and nuts add a nice light crunch, contrasting the smooth cheese and tender sprouts. This is the kind of dish that has changed my mind about eating Brussels sprouts!
A Different Kind Of Holiday Casserole
These Ritzy Brussels sprouts are almost like a green bean casserole, really, but with a nice nutty crunch to boot. Why serve that old ‘boring’ Thanksgiving side dish when you can serve something new and awesome!
I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.
Also try my sauteed shredded Brussels sprouts and my creamy garlic Parmesan Brussels sprouts.
