The Brussels sprouts are arranged in a single layer, with each sprout showing a mix of bright green and charred dark brown tops, giving a roasted look. The creamy sauce surrounding them is thick, smooth, and golden in places where it has baked crispy around the edge of the dish.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (California Olive Ranch extra virgin recommended)
  • 5.2 oz Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs is best)
  • 1 tbsp spicy honey (such as Mike’s Hot Honey)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Trim the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the bottom stem area of each sprout, then slice them in half. Set aside the halved sprouts.
  2. Step 2: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Choose a 13×9-inch baking dish—ceramic cast iron is ideal to prevent sticking. In a bowl, combine the Boursin cheese and olive oil until smooth, then spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. Step 3: Press each Brussels sprout half firmly into the cheese mixture, arranging them randomly or in neat rows. Drizzle a little olive oil over the sprouts and use a basting brush to spread it evenly. Sprinkle the seasoned salt on top to enhance flavor.
  4. Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 28–30 minutes until the sprouts are tender and slightly crispy. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5–10 minutes. Drizzle the spicy honey over the Brussels sprouts just before serving. Enjoy warm.

Tips & Variations

  • For an extra crunch, sprinkle toasted nuts like almonds or pecans over the dish before serving.
  • Substitute the spicy honey with maple syrup for a milder sweetness.
  • If Boursin cheese is unavailable, cream cheese mixed with garlic and herbs can be a good alternative.

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 warmed through. The honey topping is best added fresh before serving.
