Description

This comforting side dish transforms humble frozen brussels sprouts into a bright, elegant meal component. The sprouts are tenderized and paired with a rich, emulsified sauce made from mayonnaise, dry white wine, and fresh lemon juice. Finely chopped onions are softened in the wine to create a savory base, while hard-cooked eggs add protein and texture. The result is a creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet dish that balances the earthiness of the greens. Perfect for holiday tables, potlucks, or as a sophisticated accompaniment to roasted meats, this recipe brings a sunny, home-style flavor to any gathering.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cook the frozen brussels sprouts according to package directions until tender, then drain well.
  2. Place the finely chopped onion and dry white wine in a small, heat-resistant, non-metallic bowl.
  3. Microwave the onion and wine mixture uncovered for 2 minutes, or until the onion is soft and tender.
  4. Stir the lemon juice and mayonnaise into the warm onion-wine mixture until smooth.
  5. Microwave the sauce mixture uncovered for 2 minutes, or until it begins to bubble and comes to a boil.
  6. Gently fold the chopped hard-cooked eggs into the warm sauce.
  7. Spoon the creamy egg sauce evenly over the cooked brussels sprouts.
  8. Sprinkle with paprika if desired, and serve immediately.
