Description
A rich and creamy Brussels Sprouts Gratin featuring tender sprouts baked in a homemade cheese sauce with a golden crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cheese (provolone and gruyere mix), grated and divided
- 3 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a 3-quart baking dish with butter or spray.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the Brussels sprouts, and cook for 6-8 minutes until tender. Drain well and pat dry with a towel.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in the milk. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups of the cheese, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fold the Brussels sprouts into the cheese sauce until coated, then transfer to the baking dish.
- Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and bake for 25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
Notes
Ensure the sprouts are very dry before adding to the sauce to prevent a watery gratin.
