Ingredients

6 oz. goat cheese
4 oz. cream cheese light
2 Tablespoons half and half
2-3 Tablespoons maple syrup
2 Tablespoons olive oil
3 cups Brussels sprouts - shredded
1 slice bacon - cooked and diced
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper - to taste

Instructions

Saute Brussels Sprouts. Add olive oil to a small cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shaved Brussels Sprouts and saute them until softened. Sprinkle salt and pepper overtop and add some diced bacon (if desired).
2 Tablespoons olive oil, 3 cups Brussels sprouts, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, 1 slice bacon
Mix ingredients in a food processor. To a bowl of a food processor, combine the soft goat cheese, cream cheese, and half and half. Creamy together until it's very soft. You may need to add a little extra half and half.

Add dip to a small baking dish. Then use a rubber spatula to spoon dip into a shallow baking dish. Smooth out evenly. Add a big drizzle of maple syrup to the top.
Bake dip. Bake dip in a preheated 350-degree oven until hot and bubbly, about 18 minutes or so.
Add maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Add some additional pure maple syrup to the top of the hot dip and stir in with a spoon. Add kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
2-3 Tablespoons maple syrup
Add sauteed Brussels Sprouts. To the top of the baked dip, add the sauteed Brussels Sprouts and bacon.
