Steps:
- 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.

FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Like fried cabbage? Then you are in for a treat. This is easy and most kids are actually surprised that it tastes better than it looks! I add about 2 tablespoons sugar simply to soften the taste and make my kids happy. But it is delicious without the sugar, and when I leave it out, I don't tell them and they never say a word!

Steps:
- Mix Italian seasoning into bread crumbs.

- Sprinkle with cheese and serve.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh Brussels sprouts that are about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
- To easily remove the outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts, use a sharp knife to cut a shallow X into the bottom of each sprout.
- Soak the Brussels sprouts in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking to help remove any bitterness.
- To make sure the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with the breading, use a fork to toss them in the flour, egg, and breadcrumb mixtures.
- Heat the oil to 350°F before frying the Brussels sprouts to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Fry the Brussels sprouts in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan and cook evenly.
- Drain the Brussels sprouts on paper towels to remove any excess oil before serving.
