Step by Step Method
Step 1
Melt the butter and olive oil at medium-high in a skillet until the butter foams.
Step 2
Reduce heat to medium, add the garlic and cook until lightly toasted.
Step 3
Remove the garlic and toss it out.
Step 4
Add the sprouts, cut side down. Cover and cook without stirring for about 15 minutes or until tender. The cut side should be nicely browned.
Step 5
Top with the parmesan, if desired (I really don't think this recipe needs it, but hey....go for it if it sounds good). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve and wait for your standing ovation!
