Health Benefits of Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts are rich in fiber and antioxidants. They are loaded with vitamin C and K. Brussels sprouts also contain glucosinolates such as glucoraphanin, glucobrassicin, sinigrin, and gluconasturtiian, that provide cancer-preventive components.

Dijon Mustard Brussels Sprouts Ingredients
The main ingredients are Brussels sprouts, one green apple, a julienned onion, Dijon mustard and a blue cheese of your choice. Pretty healthy combination!
Brussels sprouts are boiled for 5 minutes to make them pleasantly soft. Onions are cooked in a large skillet until slightly browned and transluscent, then apples are added and cooked for about one minute, just to warm them up.
How to make the creamy sauce
Heavy cream, mustard and nutmeg are added to the same skillet with onions and apples. Finally, Brussels Sprouts are brought into the mixture and the entire combination is cooked for 10 more minutes until all flavors are well blended!
The resulting dish is DELICIOUS! Serve it immediately, even though I must say I enjoy eating it the next day as well. Love Dijon Mustard Brussels Sprouts with Blue Cheese!
