2 tbsp | unsalted butter |
2 tbsp | vegetable oil |
1 lb | Brussels sprouts, halved |
1 cup | heavy cream |
1 tbsp | Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Garlic Base |
½ cup | grated Parmesan cheese |
1 | freshly ground pepper |
1 tbsp | lemon juice |
1 tbsp | finely chopped fresh chives |

Melt butter and oil in large skillet set over medium heat; cook Brussels sprouts, cut side down, for 8 to 10 minutes or until starting to brown. Stir in cream and Roasted Garlic Base; bring to simmer.
Reduce heat to medium; cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until Brussels sprouts are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
