Add the minced garlic to the same skillet with the bacon fat and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant

After adding the Brussels sprouts to the skillet and seasoning them with salt and pepper, saut them for five to seven minutes, or until they begin to brown and soften

After pouring the heavy cream over the Brussels sprouts, mix them well

Simmer for a few minutes, or until it becomes slightly thicker

Evenly distribute the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the cream mixture and Brussels sprouts

The breadcrumbs and crispy bacon bits should be combined in a small bowl

Drizzle this mixture over the Brussels sprouts that have been covered in cheese

After transferring the skillet to the preheated oven, bake it for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are soft and the top is golden brown
