Description
Brussels Sprouts Gratin. Decadent Brussels sprouts, bathed in heavy cream and covered with cheese, are a great side dish for a celebration meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons butter, plus more for the baking dish.
- 1.5 pounds Brussels sprouts, halved
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 ounces shredded Fontina cheese (or an Italian shredded cheese blend)
Instructions
- Sauté the Brussels sprouts and reduce the cream: Turn the oven to 425°F. Melt the butter in a large fry pan over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and sprinkle with salt. Saute the Brussels sprouts, stirring often, until they are browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Pour the cream into the pan and simmer, occasionally scraping the bottom, until the cream thickens and the bubbles start stacking up on themselves, about 5 more minutes.
- Prep the baking dish: Butter the inside of the baking dish. Pour the sprouts and cream into the baking dish and sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
- Bake and brown the gratin: Put the baking dish in the oven and bake until bubbling and the cheese is melted and browning, about 15 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
