Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds brussel sprouts washed, trimmed and cut in half
- Salt and fresh cracked black pepper
- 5 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 6 oz cream cheese at room temperature cut into chunks
- 1 Tbsp butter
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup crisp bacon bits
Instructions
- Add the Brussels sprouts to the Instant Pot. Add in 1 1/2 cup of vegetable broth. Then add the cream cheese, butter, garlic, salt, and pepper on top.
- Set the Instant Pot to high for 2 minutes (or steam mode). Once done, do a quick release.
- Add parmesan and carefully give a quick stir to combine the ingredients together.
- Place the lid back on the pressure cooker for about 5 minutes. This will allow the sauce to thicken a little bit and the cheese to melt. Place in your serving bowl and sprinkle with the bacon.
