What can we say about this to-die-for dip that its name already doesn’t? Brussels sprouts? Delicious. Cheesy? You bet. Oh, and did we mention there’s bacon in here, too? Stick crostini in there, and watch that melty cheese pull—you won’t believe just how addicting the unassuming Brussels sprout can be. MORE+ LESS-

Expert Tips

We used about 1 lb of Brussels sprouts in this recipe.
An easy way to thinly slice the Brussels sprouts is to cut them in half through the stem, then hold the stem and thinly slice from the other end.
Short on time? Use preshredded Brussels sprouts found in the produce section.
When slicing the Brussels sprouts, use a mandolin for consistently thin slices.
