What You’ll Need:
This Rosenkohl in Frischkse-Senfsauce ingredient list is intentionally simple—because good food doesn’t need to be complicated.

- 500g fresh Brussels sprouts (Rosenkohl), trimmed and halved
You can find these in the regular produce section, and they’re especially fresh in season. - 150g cream cheese (Frischkäse), softened
If you don’t have cream cheese, a nice Greek yogurt or ricotta can work as a simple swap. - 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Adds that tangy kick that’s key in this creamy mustard sauce. - 1 tablespoon olive oil
Keeps the sprouts nicely coated and adds richness without heaviness. - 2 cloves garlic, minced
For a little savory punch. - Salt and pepper, to taste
Always adjust for your preference. - Juice of half a lemon (optional)
Brightens up the whole dish and balances the creamy sauce.
Budget-friendly note: This recipe keeps costs low by using accessible ingredients you likely already have or can easily swap. I love adding a bit of fresh parsley if I have it on hand, but it’s not a must.
Prep shortcut: If you’re in a rush, buy pre-shredded Brussels sprouts or frozen ones. Just give them a quick sauté so they’re tender before mixing in the creamy mustard sauce.
Storage tip: Leftover Rosenkohl in Frischkse-Senfsauce keeps well in an airtight container for up to 3 days. I usually reheat gently and add a splash of water to bring back the sauciness.
Let’s Make It Together!
- First, give your Rosenkohl a good rinse. Trim the ends and halve the sprouts so they cook evenly. I usually wash and chop them right before cooking to keep that fresh green color.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the minced garlic and let it sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant—your kitchen will already smell wonderful.
- Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan, cut side down, and let them cook uncovered for about 5-7 minutes. The goal is to get a slight caramelization—it adds natural sweetness to the dish. Don’t stir too often; patience pays off here!
- While the sprouts are cooking, mix the softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, lemon juice (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. This creamy mustard sauce is the heart of what makes this Rosenkohl in Frischkse-Senfsauce so comforting.
- Once the sprouts are tender and golden on the edges, reduce the heat to low and pour your creamy mustard sauce over them. Gently toss to coat everything evenly. It might look a bit thick at first—don’t worry, it will soften as you stir.
- Let it all warm together for another 2-3 minutes. This is the perfect time to set the table or prepare a simple side.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with a little extra salt or mustard if you like it tangier. If you want it richer, a small drizzle of olive oil at the end makes a nice finish.
This whole Rosenkohl in Frischkse-Senfsauce journey usually takes about 20 minutes from start to finish, ideal for weeknights when you want something nourishing but quick.
I used to overcomplicate making creamy mustard sauce by adding too many ingredients. Turns out, keeping it simple with just cream cheese and mustard is exactly what lets the Brussels sprouts shine.
How I Love to Serve This!

For me, this Rosenkohl in Frischkse-Senfsauce is a go-to Brussels sprouts side dish for cozy dinners with friends or family. It pairs beautifully with simple proteins like baked chicken breasts or pan-seared salmon.
I’ve also enjoyed it alongside some of my favorite roasted chickpea corn mix from the blog—a crunchy contrast that feels like a comforting hug on the plate.
Because of its rich texture, I find it works wonderfully with lighter sides like quinoa or brown rice, especially on busier nights when I want to keep things balanced but satisfying.
Presentation tip: I like to sprinkle a few fresh herbs or a little cracked black pepper right before serving to add a touch of freshness.
Leftover idea? Try mixing your Rosenkohl in Frischkse-Senfsauce into warm whole-grain pasta or use it as a filling for a warm wrap with some grilled turkey or tofu.
Seasonally, I’ve experimented with adding a handful of toasted walnuts or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a cozy twist during the colder months—all delicious variations that keep this dish feeling fresh.
Friends usually get curious when I bring this to a potluck—it’s a sneaky way to get them loving Brussels sprouts without them even realizing it.
