Ingredients

  • 2 lbs fresh brussels sprouts washed, trimmed, and cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • salt & pepper
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 6 oz cream cheese softened and cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 6 slices bacon cooked crisp and crumbled

Instructions

  • Add the prepared sprouts to the liner of your Instant Pot, then pour in the chicken broth.
  • On top of the sprouts, add the cream cheese, butter, garlic, salt & pepper.
  • Close the lid, and set the vent valve to seal.
  • Set the pot to pressure cook on high for 2 minutes. Once the timer beeps, carefully open the vent valve (avoid the hot steam), and do a quick release of the built up pressure.
  • Carefully open the lid, and stir everything just until the sauce has come together. If it's too hot, wait a minute or two until the heat and remaining steam have cleared before continuing to stir.
  • Stir in the Parmesan and bacon, until incorporated.
  • Add the lid back to the pot, turning to close and let everything rest for 3-5 minutes. The sauce will thicken some as it sits.
  • Serve the sprouts warm, with extra crumbled bacon if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

I have made this successfully in both the 6qt & the 8qt. I haven't tried it in the 3qt. If wanting to make it in the 3qt, the recipe will need to be halved due to less available space.
