Brussels Sprout Gratin Recipe

Brussels Sprout Gratin Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

   Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.

2. 2

   Blanch the Brussels Sprouts

   Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the halved Brussels sprouts and blanch for about 5 minutes, or until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain again and set aside.

3. 3

   Make the Cream Mixture

   In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the mixture is slightly thickened.

4. 4

   Combine and Assemble

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched Brussels sprouts with the cream mixture. Stir until all sprouts are evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.

5. 5

   Add Breadcrumb Topping

   Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the Brussels sprout mixture.

6. 6

   Bake the Gratin

   Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake the gratin for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Brussels Sprout Gratin!
