I made this last night and will be having for tonight’s dinner, so I haven’t tried it yet. My only problem was Step #3. It was confusing. Looks like a possible type-o, so I just cooked everything in that step together and hoped it will come out right.

I tried this recipe today. IT took me about 40 minutes to prepare and have everything ready to put in the oven. Then I baked it for 20 minutes and then broil it for 5 minutes to get that crispness that the picture shows. I didn’t find any Brussel Sprouts so I replace it with cauliflower. I hope the variation doesn’t impact my results too much. It Tate’s delicious! My husband said I should be proud! Thank you Zuzka! I love getting compliments from my husband about my cooking! I have to say…can’t help feeling guilty when I eat Butter or heavy cream but It doesn’t stop me from eating it 🙂 Because I’m doing exercises and meal plan. It works for Zuzka! I have to give myself a chance too!
