Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F.
Cook Brussels sprouts in boiling water until tender when pierced, then drain.
Smash sprouts until chunky (see video above) and add salt and pepper. Then add a dash of nutmeg, if desired (highly recommended!), stir in cream and about 1 cup of shredded Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar or Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar.
Spoon mixture into a buttered 8 x 8 baking dish and cover with the remainder of cheese. Bake for about 25 minutes or so, until golden brown.
