Description

A delightful side dish featuring crispy roasted Brussels sprouts on a bed of creamy whipped Boursin cheese, finished with a spicy chili crunch for an irresistible crunch and heat.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 oz Boursin cheese (garlic and herb flavor)
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chili crunch (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add Brussels sprouts and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. On a baking sheet, place Brussels sprouts and gently smash each with a flat-bottomed cup or spatula to flatten them slightly.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the smashed sprouts, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently to coat.
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  6. In a small bowl, mix Boursin cheese with heavy cream until smooth and whipped.
  7. Spread the whipped Boursin on a serving plate.
  8. Arrange the crispy Brussels sprouts on top of the Boursin.
  9. Drizzle chili crunch over the sprouts and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
