- 14 cup white smoked cheddar cheese

- Purchases the freshest Brussels Sprout possible and opt for the smaller ones.
- I find that the smaller ones are less bitter in flavor.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add Brussels Sprouts.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, or until tender.
- In a large pan, fry the Pancetta until crisp.
- Remove from pan and blot in paper towels.
- Leave the fat in the pan and add onions.
- Cook at medium heat for about 3-4 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
- Add apple and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cook for another minute.
- Add the Brussels Sprouts, garlic, and cream.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sprouts are heated through.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cheese, nutmeg, and pancetta.
- Serve immediately or save in refrigerator for 1-2 days.
- It can be re-heated in a 350 degree oven in a casserole dish covered in foil.
