Brussels Sprouts Gratin Recipe

Step 1

PREHEAT OVEN TO 375F. Prepare the brussels sprouts by cutting a thin slice off the root end of each and then cutting an X in that end so it cooks evenly inside and out. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, blanch sprouts until they are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, refresh in ice cold water, and drain again. (Do not let the sprouts sit in water for more than a minute.) Saute bacon until limp, not crisp. Drain and coarsely chop. Mix the sprouts and bacon together and spread the mixture in a buttered gratin dish. Pour cream over the sprouts-bacon mixture and dot with bread crumbs and butter. Bake for 20 minutes or until hot.

Things You'll Need

1lb Brussels sprouts
2oz Bacon
1tb Unsalted butter
- for greasing gratin dish
1/2c Heavy cream
1tb Fresh bread crumbs
4tb Unsalted butter; in bits
