Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs. brussel sprouts, halved
• About 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tsp. Nature’s Seasoning
• 1/2 c. real bacon bits
• 1.5 c. shredded Italian blend cheese
• 3/4 c. heavy whipping cream
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp. rosemary
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400*. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
2. When preparing the brussel sprouts, I remove the stalky stem and then remove those outer layer of leaves since they are more bitter. Once they are all halved, lay in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with your hands. Sprinkle with Nature’s Seasoning.
3. Roast for about 20 minutes or until they start to become a light golden brown.
4. In a large bowl, combine the egg, heavy cream, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Then stir in 1 c. of cheese and 1/4 c. bacon bits. Pour into a medium sized casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese and bacon bits.
5. Bump the oven temp down to 350* and bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and begins to brown.
6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.

Yields 6 servings.

Eat, Bork, and Be Merry!
