Making low carb simple
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Fry the bacon until crispy in a hot frying pan. When done, remove and place on a plate. Reserve the fat in the pan.
Fry the Brussels sprouts in the same frying pan for a few minutes together with the garlic until it gets a nice color.
Add cream and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let simmer for a few minutes. Add bacon and combine well.
Pour everything in a baking dish and sprinkle with shredded cheese and parmesan on top. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and has a nice golden color.
Tip!
If you want to take this to the next level and get an even more filling meal, fry some eggs or serve with some grilled chicken. You can also make a simple tomato salad with vinaigrette and finely chopped onion. If you don't like Brussels sprouts, you can use broccoli and cauliflower. If you have some leftovers, you can keep it in the refrigerator or even freeze it to have a quick and delicious lunchbox ready any time.

I just love this dish! I substitute the Parmesan with freshly grated Asiago and I use Ghost pepper bacon. The Ghost pepper bacon makes the dish super spicy and a potluck favourite.

This was a delicious side to duck breasts, but it was very, very, very salty! I used smoked pancetta and used more than it recommended (about 6grams more per serving, so not that bad). I would definitely recommend using unsmoked bacon, or not to use the bacon fat to cook the sprouts + cream.
I served it with avocado and baby spinach, and they helped balance the saltiness (thankfully I was allowed extra carbs that day :)
I will definitely cook this again, it's perfect for a rainy or cold winter night in.Reply: #17

Have made this several times now. First time added ham & cheddar. It was extremely salty and we didn't care for the cheddar.
Have finally settled on diced grilled or roasted chicken breast & mozzarella. It's absolutely delicious! Making it again as I type this.
One suggestion, since this dish tends to be salty because of the bacon, you may not want to add any salt until tasting the final product.

This dish looks amazing and I just might make it for dinner tonight :) Sounds like it would be a good idea to taste, then add in the salt.
