I intentionally hid a key component in my recipe title.
This is cheesy, indulgent, and you’ll love it.
But, if I told you what all is in this beautiful hunk of bread you might have clicked away.
Do I have trust issues?
Maybe.
I can’t have you clicking away, dear friends.
See the green? Brussels sprouts. Yep.
If you’re not big on eating green, this will give you an easy way to get them in. Don’t cringe. They’re awesome. I sauteed them, and hit them with a splash of balsamic vinegar. The cheese, OMG. It’s Cabot’s Hand Rubbed Tuscan Cheddar. This cheese is like pizza without the crust, to quote Cabot.
Is there anything they do that isn’t amazing???
I swear I had a plan to put shredded chicken in this, but I didn’t have room. The bread was just way too stuffed. In the end, it didn’t need it. I was so happy with how this turned out, but I’m already planning out my next cheesy stuffed bread.
Even if you’re not a fan of brussels sprouts, give this a try and I promise you will be. Here’s your printable-

- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp. salt

Instructions

- Saute until golden on both sides and add vinegar, salt and pepper, toss and remove from heat.
- Let cool a little and roughly chop; set aside.
