ALPHA SPROUTS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Spread cream cheese onto each slice of bread, and set cheese side up on the cookie sheet. Place the tomato slices over the cream cheese. Top with alfalfa sprouts, then a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
• Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese is melted, and sandwiches are warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add Brussels sprouts, reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer and cook until just tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 8 minutes. Drain the sprouts and plunge them into the ice bath. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then transfer to a clean dish towel and pat dry.
• Spread the sprouts on a large rimmed baking sheet. Flatten them with the bottom of a mason jar or sturdy glass. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Gently toss to coat. Sprinkle Parmesan evenly over the sprouts. Roast until the Parmesan has melted and started to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with vinegar.
