Description
A rich and creamy baked dish featuring Brussels sprouts in a cheesy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- Blanch the Brussels sprouts in boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Drain them well and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture thickens into a smooth sauce.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the salt, pepper, nutmeg, Gruyere cheese, and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Place the blanched Brussels sprouts in the prepared baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the sprouts.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top layer.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
Notes
- You can substitute Gruyere with sharp white cheddar for a different flavor profile.
- For extra crispiness, toast the breadcrumbs in a dry skillet before sprinkling them on top.
