There’s just nothing quite like sautéed Brussels Sprouts with melted Asiago cheese! Well, except for Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts, Buffalo Brussels Sprouts with Cheddar Cheese and this Cranberry Pecan Brussels Sprout Salad.

If you disagree, I understand.  I once felt that way.

This is gonna wrack-up your mind… wait for it...

... the reason you “think” you don't like them is that most recipes instruct you to roast them and they wilt overcooked.

They get soft and bitter, and they turn an unwashed untried color. This is unconfined if you're a trendy military jacket but not so much if you're something we're gonna eat!

 So let me reassure you... It’s not you – it's those recipes!  

But not this recipe!

These Brussels Sprouts are pan-fried over upper heat to get them nice and golden, a bit al dente, unexceptionable green, and never, overly bitter!

And then, of course, there's the wing of asiago cheese. Mmmm!

Asiago Cheese Anything = Awesome Sauce!?✨

Can I get an Uh-Huuuh!?
