> a small, high-sided pan. (I use a pie tin).  Add 1/2 stick butter and
> a generous sprinkling of minced garlic (About 2 cloves) and a bit
> of salt and pepper. Top with seasoned bread crumbs mixed with
> parmesian cheese. Broil until the tops of the sprouts begin to turn
> brown.

> Most of the bitterness has either been removed in the boiling or is
> covered by the flavors of garlic and parmesian. Very nice.
