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

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.

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.

Provided by Greg Perez

1 cup vegetable stock, warm
2 oz shredded gruyère cheese

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm vegetables. Brussels sprouts and cauliflower should be deep green in color and free of blemishes. Avoid any vegetables that are wilted or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Trim and cut the vegetables evenly. This will help them cook evenly. For Brussels sprouts, trim the ends and cut them in half. For cauliflower, cut the head into florets.
  • Blanch the vegetables before baking. This will help them retain their color and nutrients. To blanch the vegetables, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Drain the vegetables and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a cheese that you like. I recommend using a sharp cheddar cheese, but you can also use Parmesan, Gruyère, or any other type of cheese that you prefer.
  • Don't overcook the dish. The vegetables should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Bake the dish for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Brussels sprouts and cauliflower gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The combination of roasted vegetables, creamy sauce, and melted cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new vegetable side dish, give Brussels sprouts and cauliflower gratin a try.
