While we absolutely love a roasted Brussels sprout, shaved Brussels sprouts add much-appreciated versatility to the mix. The fact that you can now buy them pre-shaved at your supermarket is a huge time saver, turning this into a 30-minute side perfect for any holiday table. We tossed the sprouts with melty cheeses and baked them until rich and bubbly for a vegetable dish even the pickiest kids will come back for.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large shallot, chopped
2 pounds shredded Brussels sprouts
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 3/4 ounces)
1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons salad dressing spread
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large high-sided saute pan or wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add half of the Brussels sprouts, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring often, until the sprouts are softened and wilted, about 1 minute. Add the remaining sprouts and continue to cook until tender and bright green, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the Monterey Jack, cream, Parmesan and 1/3 cup of the salad dressing spread until combined. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Stir the remaining 3 tablespoons salad dressing spread with the panko, parsley and remaining 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the top of the casserole. Bake until the breadcrumbs are well browned and toasted and the sauce is bubbling all over, 30 to 35 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

CREAMED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts
1 quart boiling water
2 tablespoons glace de viande
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup light cream

Steps:

  • Trim the brussels sprouts of any loose or yellowing leaves and cut a cross in the stem end of each one. Add them to the quart of boiling water and cook for exactly 7 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking.
  • While sprouts are cooking, bring cream to a boil in a separate saucepan and reduce by boiling to 1/2 cup.
  • Place the sprouts in a saute pan with the glace de viande and flavorings. Add the reduced cream and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, tossing the sprouts in the cream to coat well. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose small, tender Brussels sprouts: These will cook more evenly and have a better flavor.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the tough outer leaves and the stem end.
  • Blanch the Brussels sprouts: This will help to brighten their color and remove some of the bitterness.
  • Cook the Brussels sprouts until they are tender: They should be pierced easily with a fork, but still have a slight crunch.
  • Make the cream sauce: Use a combination of butter, flour, and milk to create a smooth and flavorful sauce.
  • Season the cream sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
  • Garnish the creamed Brussels sprouts: With chopped parsley, chives, or almonds.
