Despite their rich nutritional profile and beneficial properties, Brussels sprouts have a strong cabbage-like aroma, which is why many people dislike them. One of the best ways to incorporate Brussels sprouts into your diet is as part of a hot cheese sandwich. It's a treat that's hard to resist. Brussels sprouts make the sandwich juicier, and the crispy bacon bits enhance the flavor.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until lightly crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Pour off most of the rendered fat from the skillet, reserving 1 tablespoon. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the Brussels sprouts, and cook, stirring, until slightly wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the bacon, lemon zest, and black pepper to taste. Wipe the skillet clean.
- Divide half the cheese between 2 slices of bread; top with the Brussels sprout mixture, remaining cheese, and top with 2 slices of bread.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook, pressing occasionally with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 4 minutes per side, adding more butter to the pan if necessary.
Note
To slice soft cheese cleanly, place it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes until it hardens.
