Cheesy Garlic Brussels Sprout Bake Ingredients

(Refer to the recipe card for detailed quantities & instructions)

The key to this delicious sprouts recipe lies in its simple yet flavorful ingredients:

• Brussels Sprouts: The centerpiece of the dish, these green gems are oven-roasted to perfection, bringing a nutty flavor and a satisfying bite. They’re not only delicious but also packed with nutrients.
• Butter: Used as the base for sautéing, butter adds a rich, creamy texture and enhances the overall flavor profile of the dish.
• Garlic: A key ingredient that infuses a pungent and aromatic flavor, garlic elevates the taste of the brussels sprouts and cheese sauce.
• Flour or Almond Flour: For those following a traditional diet, regular flour acts as a thickening agent for the sauce, creating a lush, evenly coated texture for the sprouts. For a keto-friendly option, almond flour can be used instead, offering a low-carb alternative that still helps achieve that irresistible, gooey texture when baked with cheese.
• Milk: Milk is crucial for the creamy base of the cheesy garlic sauce. It blends seamlessly with flour and butter to create a smooth and velvety sauce that perfectly complements the sprouts.
• Gruyere Cheese: A star ingredient, Gruyere cheese is known for its excellent melting qualities. It adds a complex, nutty flavor to the dish, creating that sought-after, melted and gooey cheese topping that makes this bake a hit at any table.
