Breaded Brussels Sprouts

Wash and trim Brussels sprouts. Cut an \X\ about 1/8 inch deep in the stem of the sprouts (this helps cook the sprouts more evenly and quickly).

In a medium-size pot cover Brussels sprouts with water; add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to boil. Cover and simmer for 6 minutes or until tender; drain. Be careful not to overcook sprouts.

Place sprouts in a small casserole dish. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the sprouts and mix well to coat.

Combine Parmesan cheese dried bread crumbs garlic powder black pepper seasoning salt and remaining butter and mix well; sprinkle mixture over sprouts.

Heat sprouts under broiler (about 4 inches away from heat) for about 5 minutes or until crumb mixture is lightly browned. Serve hot.
