Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl.

Step 2

Blanch Brussels sprouts: bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add Brussels sprouts and cook until bright green and very tender, about 10 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts to ice bath to cool and then drain.

Step 3

On a large baking sheet, toss blanched Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic, and thyme. Using the end of a small glass or mason jar, press down on the Brussels sprouts to smash them into a flat patty. Season each with salt and pepper, then sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan on top.

Step 4

Bake until the bottoms of the sprouts are crispy and the cheese is melted and golden, about 20 minutes.

Step 5

Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
