Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for perfect baking temperature.
  2. Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and slice each one in half. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, add halved sprouts, and sauté for 5–7 minutes until lightly browned.
  3. Add minced garlic and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Heat until simmering.
  4. Reduce heat to low and add white cheddar, parmesan, and fontina cheese. Stir until melted and combined into a creamy sauce.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish. Bake for 20 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
