Ingredients:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Drain the Brussels sprouts and place them in a baking dish. Mix with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, ensuring everyone gets that tasty seasoning.
- In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream with half of the shredded cheese and the red pepper flakes if you’re feeling spicy. Stir until well blended.
- Pour the creamy cheese mixture over the Brussels sprouts and give it a gentle toss so every little sprout is covered in cheesy goodness.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese and the Parmesan on top, because why not go a little extra on the cheese?!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Just imagine the aroma wafting through your kitchen. It’s heavenly!
- Once it’s done, let it cool for a minute (if you can resist). Serve it up and watch as everyone fights over the last bite!
