Ingredients list for the Instant Pot Creamy Brussel Sprouts
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 2 pounds (1kg) Brussel sprouts, washed, trimmed and cut in half
- Salt and fresh cracked black pepper
- 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups (400ml) vegetable broth
- 3/4 cup cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup fresh shredded or grated parmesan cheese
- 5 ounces (150g) crisp bacon bits (optional)
Directions
1. Add the Brussels sprouts to the Instant Pot. Add the cream cheese, butter, garlic, and seasonings on top. Pour 1 1/2 cup of vegetable broth or water.
2. Set the Instant Pot to high for 2 minutes (or steam mode). Once the time is up, do a quick release.
3. Add parmesan, and bacon crumbles to the cooked Brussels sprouts and give a quick stir to combine the ingredients together.
4. Place the lid back on the pressure cooker and let melt the cheese and warm the bacon for about 5 minutes. This will allow the sauce to thicken a little bit. Serve the creamy Brussels sprouts warm and enjoy!
