BRUSSELS SPROUTS & GRUYERE GRATIN
Brussels sprouts are my new-found love -- I always listened to other people saying they were too strong in flavor. Sooo glad I made the decision to try them. I absolutely love gruyere cheese as well.

Steps:
- 1. Heat a large pot of salted water. Blanch the halved brussels sprouts for 3-4 minutes, until just barely tender. Remove from pot, drain, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking, set aside.
- 2. Place diced pancetta or bacon in a large pot on medium-low heat. Cook until most of the fat is rendered, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the pancetta from the pan, set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
- 3. Add butter to the pot and melt on medium heat. Add the shallots and gently cook until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add the flour to the butter/shallot mixture to make a roux, whisk for 1-2 minutes. Add the milk and stir with a wooden spoon until the roux is incorporated into the milk. Cook over medium low heat for several minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of your spoon. Add fresh thyme and sprinkle with nutmeg.
- 4. Add 3 ounces of grated gruyere cheese into the white sauce and stir until the cheese is melted and incorporated into the sauce. Add half of the cooked pancetta back to the sauce. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
- 5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter and 8 x 12 gratin dish or casserole. Add the brussels sprouts into the cheese sauce. Transfer the cheesy brussels sprouts into the casserole dish. Sprinkle with remaining pancetta and the remaining 1 ounce of gruyere cheese. Bake for 25 minutes until top is lightly browned and bubbly. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Put the Bruussels sprouts and onion chunks into a large bowl, drizzle in a glug of olive oil, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and many twists of pepper, and toss to distribute the oil.
- Spread over a rimmed baking sheet and roast until the sprouts are mostly tender but still have a bit of resistance when you poke them with a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. (Leave the oven on.)
- Transfer the vegetables to a gratin or baking dish that's large enough to hold the sprouts in mostly a single layer. Sprinkle the prosciutto around the vegetables, pour the cream over everything, and top with the Gruyere.
- Bake until the cream and cheese are bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Top with the bread crumbs (if using). Let cool for about 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Put the Brussels sprouts in a 9x13-inch ceramic or metal baking dish, and toss with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Spread the sprouts evenly in the dish and roast, tossing once halfway through, until tender and browned in spots, 25-30 minutes.
- While the sprouts roast, place the bread crumbs in a medium bowl. Pour the remaining tablespoon of melted butter over the crumbs and sprinkle with ⅛ teaspoon salt. Mix in the Gruyère. Set aside.
- When the sprouts are tender and browned, pour the cream evenly over the sprouts and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt. Continue baking until the cream has thickened to a saucy consistency, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. Set the oven to broil and position a rack to 6 inches below the broiler. Sprinkle on the bread crumb mixture. Broil the gratin until the crust is golden brown, 3-5 minutes (keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn).
- Make ahead tip: This recipe can be prepared a day ahead of time. Reheat in a 350°F oven, uncovered, until warm throughout and crisp on top, 10-15 minutes.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS GRATIN
The most indulgent way to eat any vegetable is to bathe it in cream and top it with cheese, but few benefit from that treatment as much as brussels sprouts do. Whether or not you decide to top them with crispy bread crumbs (you should), the end result is a decadent, but never too heavy, side dish that could easily become your main course.

Tips:
- Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, bright green sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any that are yellowing, wilted, or have brown spots.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts properly: Cut off the stem end and any discolored leaves.
- Blanch the Brussels sprouts: This helps to tenderize them and bring out their natural sweetness. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the Brussels sprouts and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Gruyère is a classic choice for gratin, but you can also use other cheeses such as Parmesan, cheddar, or fontina. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish: The Brussels sprouts should be in a single layer so that they can cook evenly. If you have too many Brussels sprouts, use a larger baking dish or cook them in batches.
- Cook the gratin until it is golden brown and bubbly: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on the gratin so that it doesn't overcook.
Conclusion:
Gratin of Brussels sprouts is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make a gratin of Brussels sprouts that is sure to impress your family and friends.
