Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

  3. Saute/fry the prosciutto in the butter over medium heat for about 2 min. Add in the garlic and Brussels sprouts and stir continuously for 2 to 3 min. Add in the flour and continue stirring for 2 min. Add in the cream, half and half, and sherry. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat and continue simmering for 7 min or possibly till the liquid is reduced by 1/3. Stir in the 1 c. (250 mL) of Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Transfer to an ovenproof casserole dish. Cover with the remaining Parmesan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 min. Serve immediately.
  4. Roasted Garlic:Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  5. Cut off the papery tip of the garlic head, exposing the top of each garlic clove. Brush the exposed cloves with extra virgin olive oil.
  6. Place the garlic, root side down, on the centre of a piece of aluminum foil. Bundle the garlic with the foil, leaving a small vent on top. Roast the garlic for 45 min or possibly till the cloves turn beige and are fork tender. Remove from the oven and let stand till cold sufficient to handle.
  7. Squeeze the garlic head upside down over a small bowl and the cloves will pop out.
