Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs Brussels sprouts, outer leaves removed, ends sliced off, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 lb slab bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice, uncooked
3/4 teaspoon salt, can adjust to personal taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup heavy cream, PLUS
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs, substitute 1 C dried
6 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons fresh sage, minced, substitute parsley, chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and place rack at the highest level.
  • Toss Brussels sprouts with melted butter, bacon, salt and pepper.
  • *My suggestion, spray selected baking dish with non stick spray, for easier cleanup.
  • 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.
  • Let rest 15 minutes before serving.

This gratin was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter version next time.

I loved the crispy bacon and melted cheese in this gratin. It was the perfect side dish for my roasted chicken.

The gratin was a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This gratin was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less bacon next time.

I added some chopped walnuts to this gratin for a little extra crunch. It was a great addition!

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! I used a combination of sharp cheddar and Gruyère cheese, and it was perfect.

I'm not a huge fan of Brussels sprouts, but this gratin was amazing! The bacon and cheese really helped to balance out the flavor of the sprouts.

This Brussels sprout and bacon gratin was a hit with my family! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the cheese was gooey and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
