15Brussels sprouts halved lengthwise
11⁄2 tablespoons butter
11⁄2 tablespoons olive oil
3cloves garlic smashed with the flat of a knife
Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (optional)

Directions:
Melt butter and olive oil in a medium skillet (over medium-high heat) until butter is foamy.
Reduce heat to medium, add smashed garlic and cook until lightly browned.
Remove garlic and discard.
Add sprouts cut side down, cover, and cook without stirring on medium-low heat 10-15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife.
