Categories     Vegetables & Sides

Time 1h

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds Brussels sprouts, stem ends trimmed and cut in half through the stem end
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup coarse fresh bread crumbs, from about 3 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed
¼ cup finely grated Gruyère
1¼ cups heavy cream, at room temperature

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.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Brussels Sprouts

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound Brussels sprouts, cleaned and trimmed
2 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup bread crumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter, cut into tiny pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook uncovered until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the Brussels sprouts are cold, drain well, and cut in halves or quarters, depending on size. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until limp and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and stir in the Brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper then toss for about 1 minutes to evenly distribute the seasonings. Arrange bacon and Brussels sprouts on the prepared baking dish. Pour cream evenly over the Brussels sprouts, then sprinkle breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese on top. Distribute pieces of butter over the bread crumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and heated through, 20 to 25 minutes.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS GRATIN



Brussels Sprouts Gratin image

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.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and halved lengthwise
2 large shallots, peeled and quartered lengthwise
2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
5 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups coarse bread crumbs or panko
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Gruyère (about 3 ounces)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Toss together brussels sprouts, shallots, garlic and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Season with salt and pepper and roast, tossing occasionally until sprouts are bright green and just tender (think al dente), 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine bread crumbs with remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Pour cream and scatter Gruyère over sprouts and toss to coat. Continue to roast until cream is reduced by about half and sprouts are beginning to brown, another 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Scatter bread crumbs over sprouts and return to oven until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sit 1 to 2 minutes at room temperature before serving.
