Ingredients
- Unsalted butter

- 1 cup
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon, to taste

- 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
- Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup
- Heavy cream
- 1 cup
- Brussels sprouts
- 1 pound, trimmed and halved
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour with the melted butter, mixing until it forms a crumbly texture.
- In a baking dish, arrange the blanched Brussels sprouts evenly. Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the sprouts, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
- Sprinkle the almond flour mixture generously over the top of the Brussels sprouts for a delightful crunchy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in cooked bacon or pancetta before adding the cheese sauce.
- You can substitute the Parmesan cheese with other hard cheeses such as Gruyère or aged cheddar for a different flavor profile.
- For a twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the cheese sauce for a spicy kick.
