I love Brussels sprouts. My favorite way to eat them, since childhood, is lightly steamed and then tossed in butter, with a dash of salt & pepper and a pinch of nutmeg--sometimes simple is best! Top with crisp crumbled bacon, freshly grated lemon zest, and a dollop of creme fraiche to dress them up a bit.

SERVES 8 -10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 lbs fresh Brussels sprouts (or two 16 ounce packages frozen Brussels sprouts, cooked and drained)
4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, divided
salt
ground black pepper
ground nutmeg, pinch of
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest (optional)
1/4 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional, Easy Microwave Bacon)
creme fraiche (optional)

Directions

1
Wash and trim Brussels sprouts, removing any discolored leaves. Cut off stem ends.
2
Heat 1 inch salted water to boiling. Add Brussels sprouts. Cover and heat to boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, for 6 to 8 minutes or until just tender. Do not overcook. Drain. -Or- you may steam your sprouts, if you wish.
3
Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in saucepan. Add drained sprouts, tossing to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper; dust lightly with grated nutmeg and toss well to coat.
4
Place in a serving bowl.
5
Top with 1 tablespoon softened butter, the grated lemon zest and the crisp crumbled bacon. Add a dollop of creme fraiche, if you like. Serve immediately.
