- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook uncovered until tender, about 8 minutes.

CHEESY GRATIN OF BRUSSELS SPROUTS
From Family Fun magazine. My sister in law made this at Christmas and it was great!! Here is what FF had to say: With its creamy cheese sauce and accent of bacon, this decadent recipe may tempt even the green-vegetable averse. It can be made early in the day, refrigerated, then baked before mealtime. (If you're simply not a sprout fan, you can substitute one very large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets.)

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet and crisp-cook the bacon. Transfer it to a plate and set it aside. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat from the pan. Add the onion to the pan and saute over medium heat for 6 to 7 minutes; add the garlic for the last minute. Scrape the onions and garlic into a large, shallow casserole and spread them around evenly. Set aside.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts, then cut them in half (or quarters, if very large) lengthwise. Bring a large soup pot of well-salted water to a rolling boil. Add the Brussels sprouts. Return to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain immediately in a colander for 5 minutes. Transfer to the casserole, spreading the sprouts evenly in the dish. Set aside. Heat the oven to 375°F.
- Combine the milk and chicken broth in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the flour and cook, stirring over medium heat, for about 1 minute, until the flour is light golden brown. Whisk in half of the hot milk and broth. Heat and whisk for a minute or so, until thick. Add the remaining liquid and cook for about 5 minutes, whisking frequently.
- Whisk in the Parmesan cheese, mustard, salt, thyme, and pepper. Pour the sauce evenly over the Brussels sprouts. Mince the bacon and sprinkle it over the sauce. Sprinkle evenly with the Cheddar cheese and dust lightly with paprika, if desired.
- Place the casserole on the center oven rack and bake for 30 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown. Cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Makes 10 servings.

Steps:
- Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil. Tip in the sprouts and cook for 3 mins, then drain and set aside to steam-dry.
- Heat the oil and butter in a medium saucepan until the butter is foaming, add the shallots and cook over a low heat for 7 mins or until softened. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 mins. Remove from the heat and whisk in the milk in several pours, continuously whisking until you get a smooth sauce. Return to the heat and simmer for 2 mins, whisking all the time. Whisk through the cream, mustard and cheddar. Season to taste. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
- Toss together the dried breadcrumbs, thyme leaves and hazelnuts. Tip the sprouts into a deep 30 x 20cm ovenproof dish and pour over the sauce. Top with the nutty breadcrumbs.

Tips:
- Select firm, small Brussels sprouts: They should be about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter and have tightly closed leaves. Avoid any sprouts that are yellowed, wilted, or have brown spots.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts properly: Cut off the stem end and any discolored or damaged leaves. If the sprouts are large, you can also cut them in half or quarters.
- Blanch the Brussels sprouts before roasting: This helps to tenderize them and reduce their bitterness. To blanch, 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 sprouts and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize them and give them a slightly crispy exterior. Preheat your oven to 450°F and toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender and browned.
- Make the cheese sauce while the Brussels sprouts are roasting: This will ensure that the sauce is hot and melted when you are ready to assemble the gratin. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cheese until melted and smooth.
- Assemble the gratin: Spread the roasted Brussels sprouts in an even layer in a baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the sprouts and spread it out evenly. Top with the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the gratin is bubbly and golden brown.
Conclusion:
Cheesy Gratin of Brussels Sprouts is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The roasted sprouts are tender and slightly crispy, while the cheese sauce is rich and flavorful. The bread crumb topping adds a nice crunch and the Parmesan cheese adds a touch of umami. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
