Yield 6 to 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pints Brussels sprouts, trimmed, about 1 1/2 pounds
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups milk, at room temperature
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
5 ounces Gruyere, grated (about 1 cup grated)

Steps:

  • Make the sauce by melting the butter and flour together in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until smooth and bubbling, about 1 minute; slowly whisk in milk and continue to cook, whisking frequently, until thick and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Season the sauce well with salt and heavily with pepper.
  • Halve the Brussels sprouts through the core and put them in an even layer in a 2 quart baking dish. Pour the sauce over the sprouts and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Bake in the center of the oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 lb slab bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice, uncooked

  • Arrange in a shallow baking dish just large enough for a generous single layer with a little overlap (sprouts will shrink some during cooking). Roast for 25 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times during cooking.
  • Meanwhile: While sprouts are roasting, in a medium bowl mix together all of the topping ingredients. Set aside.
  • When sprouts are ready (after 25 mins), toss with cream.
  • Return to the original baking dish and arrange in a single layer.
  • Sprinkle the topping evenly over all.
  • Return to oven and roast until gratin is bubbling and breadcrumbs are golden brown, 20-25 minutes.

BRUSSELS SPROUT AND CARAMELIZED SHALLOT GRATIN



BRUSSELS SPROUT AND CARAMELIZED SHALLOT GRATIN image

Categories     Vegetable

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

For the Caramelized Shallots:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 - 8 shallots thinly sliced lengthwise
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
For the Gratin:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Kosher salt
2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons flour
8 oz. Gruyere, grated
1/2 oz. Parmesan, grated
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup caramelized shallots
For the Topping:
3 cups coarse fresh breadcrumbs (used a baguette)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat leaf parsley

Steps:

  • For the Caramelized Shallots: Warm the butter in a medium, heavy bottom saucepan over medium-low heat. Add sliced shallots and season with sugar, a pinch of salt and a few turns of freshly ground pepper. Cook shallots until caramelized (light brown and soft), stirring frequently. This should take 15 - 20 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of caramelized shallots for the gratin. Refrigerate any leftovers. For the Gratin & Topping: Preheat oven to 375. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside. Prepare an ice bath. Also set aside. Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling add a handful of salt. Drop in the brussels sprouts and cook until just tender (about 5 minutes). Using slotted spoon, transfer to ice bath. Drain and gently dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, Gruyere, Parmesan, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and the freshly ground pepper. Add the cream, brussels sprouts and caramelized shallots, stirring to combine. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top. To make the topping, add bread crumbs, melted butter, lemon zest, salt, pepper and parsley to a medium bowl, stirring to combine. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the gratin. Bake until the bread crumbs are golden brown (30 - 35 minutes). Let the gratin rest for 10 - 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, deep green sprouts with tightly closed leaves.
  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end and any discolored or damaged leaves.
  • Blanch the Brussels sprouts: This helps to preserve their color and texture. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the Brussels sprouts, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the Brussels sprouts and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, or until the mixture is golden brown. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Assemble the gratin: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer the blanched Brussels sprouts, the sauce, and the cheese in the prepared baking dish. Repeat the layers until all of the ingredients have been used.
  • Bake the gratin: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the Brussels sprouts are tender.
  • Serve the gratin: Let the gratin cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives, if desired.

Conclusion:

Brussels sprout gratin is a delicious and elegant side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. The creamy sauce and melted cheese make this dish irresistible, while the Brussels sprouts add a touch of healthy crunch. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
