Ingredients
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 thyme sprigs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
  • 1 tablespoon minced chives
  • 2 ounces Stilton blue cheese, crumbled
  • Lemon zest, for garnish
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and thyme, and cook, stirring as needed, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the skillet into the oven and cook until the sprouts are tender, 5 to 6 minutes more. Transfer the sprouts to a bowl and return the skillet to medium heat.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the garlic to the pan. Cook until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the hot sauce and lemon juice, and remove the pan from the heat.
  4. Whisk in the butter until emulsified, 1 minute, then stir in the Brussels sprouts and the chives. Check for seasoning, then transfer to a platter. Top with crumbles of the Stilton cheese, garnish with lemon zest, then serve.
