Transform ordinary Brussels sprouts into a gourmet appetizer with this unique and flavorful recipe that features a crispy Parmesan pastry wrapping.
Impress your guests at gatherings and dinner parties with these elegant and delicious Parmesan pastry-wrapped Brussels sprouts that are sure to steal the show.
Gather fresh Brussels sprouts, store-bought puff pastry, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional herbs or spices to add extra flavor.
Start by trimming the Brussels sprouts and blanching them in boiling water for a few minutes until they are slightly tender, then drain and pat dry.
Roll out the puff pastry dough and cut it into squares large enough to wrap around each Brussels sprout, then sprinkle the squares with Parmesan cheese.
Wrap each blanched Brussels sprout in a Parmesan-coated puff pastry square, sealing the edges tightly, and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet.
Brush the pastry-wrapped Brussels sprouts with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices for added flavor and aroma.
Bake the Parmesan pastry-wrapped Brussels sprouts in a preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and crispy, and the Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized.
Serve these savory delights hot from the oven as a tempting appetizer or side dish, accompanied by a dipping sauce or aioli for added indulgence.
