- ยพ pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 garlic cloves, minced or grated
- Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400ยบF.2. In a 12-inch oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. When it shimmers, add the Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp and lightly caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and lemon zest and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being sure not to burn them.3. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the Brussels sprouts for about 10 minutes, or until tender. 4. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, combine the goatโs milk, goat cheese, mustard, and lemon juice and pulse until smooth. Stir in the red pepper flakes. 5. Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven. Turn the broiler to high. Stir the basil and mint into the Brussels sprouts. Pour the goatโs milk mixture on top. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and almonds. Return to the oven and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted, keeping a close eye on it. Remove and season lightly with flaky sea salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh basil and mint.

Love this! Can I make ahead up until the part where you put the skillet in the oven? Trying to have as little hands on cook time on Christmas Day!

Hey Diandra,
Happy Sunday! I am thrilled to hear that this recipe was a winner. Thanks a lot for giving it a try! xTieghan
Made these the other night and they were devine!! Would love to make for Thanksgiving to switch things up a bit, but my dad unfortunately doesnโt do goat cheese. I will use buttermilk instead of goats milk, but canโt decide on the cheese to substitute. What do you think? Thanks Iโm advance for any recommendations!!
Hey Cait,
I think feta or blue cheese would work well here. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Used low fat (1%) milk and Philadelphia garlic cream cheese instead of goats milk/cheese respectively and it was delicious!!! Will definitely make this again.
Hi Karen! I am so glad these turned out amazing for you! Thank you so much! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan,
Would love to make this recipe for Christmas dinner this year, but Iโm not a huge fan of goats cheese ๐ Could you recommend another cheese that might be good for this dish? Thanks so much!

I don’t see mint in the ingredient list. How much should I use and when should I use it? Thanks!

It is 4 minute leaves! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much and happy Thanksgiving! xTieghan
and you should add them just before serving, for garnish.
Looks great, and I really love eating cheesy foods. It also looks like a gluten free recipe too. Is it? Normally I don’t buy brussel sprouts, but I might try them this way. Bon appetit’. I really like feta cheese too.
Hi Marjorie! This recipe is gluten free and I hope you love it! Let me know if you have any questions while making it!
May I try this recipe? I want to learn to cook.
