"We kids feared many things in those days - werewolves, dentists, North Koreans, Sunday School - but they all paled in comparison with Brussels sprouts."
-Dave Barry, Humorist
When slicing the Brussels sprouts, make sure to slice them horizontally, starting from the top of the sprout. Place them on the cutting board with the stem to your left (if you are right handed) and cut thin slices until you get to the stem. About 2 or 3 of the last slices will have some of the thick tough stem in the center. Remove those and discard.
I have tried to slice these in a food processor and because it is impossible to control the angle of slicing, you spend a great deal of time afterward removing the sections with the tough center stems. I find it better (and faster) to bite the bullet and slice using a knife.

1 lb | Brussels sprouts (thinly sliced crosswise) |
1/8 tsp | nutmeg |

fresh ground black pepper (to taste) |
Place the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Stir until the cheese melts and the Brussels sprouts are creamy.
