Can I make Boursin Brussels sprouts ahead of time?
Yes. Prepare through the baking step, cool, refrigerate up to 2 days, then reheat covered at 350°F for 10–15 minutes until warmed through.
What's the best way to tell when Brussels sprouts are done?
They're ready when the outer leaves are golden and crispy and a fork easily pierces the centers, usually 25–30 minutes at 400°F.
Can I use a different cheese instead of Boursin?
Yes. Substitute with herb cream cheese, garlic-herb goat cheese, or a mix of softened butter and fresh herbs, though the signature flavor will shift.
How do I prevent the cheese from burning?
Stir or shake the pan halfway through baking, and if the cheese browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.
Can this recipe be scaled for a crowd?
Yes. Double or triple all ingredients and use a large sheet pan, increasing bake time by 5–10 minutes if needed until sprouts are tender.
