Tasty Boursin Brussels Sprouts with Honey Recipe

Introduction

This Tasty Boursin Brussels Sprouts recipe offers a delicious way to enjoy this nutritious vegetable. Roasted to perfection with creamy Boursin cheese and a hint of spicy honey, it makes a flavorful side dish that’s easy to prepare and sure to impress.

Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts
• 5.2 ounces Boursin cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Lawry’s)
• 1 tablespoon spicy honey

Instructions

1. Step 1: Begin by trimming your Brussels sprouts. Cut off the bottom stem area of each sprout, then cut them in half. Set the halved sprouts aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Step 2: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Choose a 13×9 baking dish, preferably ceramic or cast iron to prevent sticking. Combine the Boursin cheese and olive oil in a bowl until smooth, then spread this mixture evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
3. Step 3: Press each Brussels sprout half firmly into the cheese mixture in the baking dish. Arrange them either randomly or in neat rows. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and use a basting brush to spread it evenly. Sprinkle seasoned salt evenly over the sprouts.
4. Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly crispy. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Immediately drizzle spicy honey over the sprouts before serving warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use fresh, firm Brussels sprouts for the best texture and flavor.
• Substitute spicy honey with maple syrup or balsamic glaze for a different sweet touch.
• Adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans before baking adds a nice crunch.
• If you prefer milder flavor, reduce or omit the seasoned salt.

Storage

Store leftover Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warm. To maintain crispy edges, reheating in a skillet over medium heat works best.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?

Fresh Brussels sprouts work best because they roast more evenly and retain a better texture. If using frozen, thaw and pat dry thoroughly before cooking, but expect a softer result.

What can I use if I don’t have Boursin cheese?

You can substitute Boursin with a mixture of cream cheese and herbs or a soft goat cheese blended with garlic and chives for a similar creamy, flavorful base.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Trim the bottom stem area off each Brussels sprout and then cut them in half. Set the halved sprouts aside.
2. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Select a 13×9 inch baking dish, preferably ceramic or cast iron, to prevent sticking.

Immediately before serving, drizzle the spicy honey over the Brussels sprouts to add a sweet and spicy finish. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

• Using a ceramic or cast iron baking dish helps prevent the cheese from sticking during baking.
• Adjust the spicy honey amount according to your preference for sweetness and heat.
• For extra crispiness, you can broil the Brussels sprouts for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
• Seasoned salt can be replaced with regular salt and a pinch of black pepper if unavailable.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
